Diederick Kraaijeveld - Old wood

There's no paint here. Each line and colored area are created with separate pieces of found wood.

Description from artists site:

Used Wood, passion materialized in vintage reclaimed wood...
Diederick Kraaijeveld (Oudhout/Oldwood, The Netherlands, 1963) builds classic and modern icons in vintage reclaimed wood; an Airstream trailer, a Porsche 911 or a pair of Chuck Taylors (All Star sneakers)...With sometimes century-old painted planks, salvaged during intensive trips along dumpsters, old Amsterdam canal mansions, run down farms and faraway coasts, Kraaijeveld "paints" photo-realistic images... His palette is not filled with paint in all its different colors: a huge warehouse full of old wooden planks forms the base of each work of art.
