He later moved to Heusden in 1970 and spent significant time painting in France, particularly in Lozère.
Bol's artistic output encompassed landscapes, portraits, and still life paintings. His style is characterized as figurative and expressive, noted for a specific feeling for tonal quality. His contributions to the arts were recognized through several honors, including the Thérèse van Duyl-Schwartze Prize in 1950 and being named a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 1982.
