Since January 2018, Dick Oostra lives and works in Oldehove,in the province Groningen, In the period 1973 till 1990 he made drawings, etchings and watercolors. Painting in watercolors made way in 1990 for painting with acrylic- and oilpaint.
Most of his drawings are preparatory studies for an acrylic painting, but are so completely worked out that they also form an independent work of art.
His subjects are landscapes and animals.The landscapes are inspired mostly by the northern provinces of the Netherlands, especially in the area around the Waddensee, but also by parts of France, Denmark, Sweden and Ireland.
