Hesther van Doornum (Independent Research)

 These are some amazing painting by Van Doornum, and that's the main reason I putting them on here because I really like them, there very realistic but at the same time are a bit impressionistic, other than that there not a lot I can say, I like the works because of his style of painting, and there extremely well done. on a side note he dose talk about his own work in a much more informative way than I am at the moment, that's at the bottom of the linked page.
