I was given a broken Westerwald piece of pottery seen in the painting. The top was totally gone and it had no spout. Well you know what artistic license is? I created the spout and top in my mind. The other objects I still have them in my studio, which were arranged so as to form one part of a laden table at a late night soiree. It was painted in 2005, it only recently came off the attic. Although we had an exhibition in our village, we were not ready to part with it as yet. I think it is just absolutely stunning. The overall size including the frame is 81 cm (high) by 96 cm (wide) and 4 cm deep click on the upper right of the main photo, to give you a view of its size in a room setting. Painted on a rigid paintable and endurable panel with quality oil paint and homemade artist medium. The palette of colours is remarkably small, only 6 colours and white.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
