The beach and a nice Dutch village

This weekend I went to Bergen, a small village near the beach. I often read about it, and it is known for its artists and the architecture. Besides I wanted to go to the beach...!
It was lovely, a small typical Dutch village with small stores, beautiful houses and a really holiday-atmosphere... I brought my camera and I found this special-shaped window, I like it! And in a small street I found these fruits, neatly presented outside. I had to take these pictures.
And then we went to the beach, many Kite-surfers, strong wind and really nice!
We had a good time and the visit inspired me, I would like to go again...

I am now working on some children paintings and I have purchased some new fabric, just for some new ideas...

I am sorry, I can't get the photos uploaded, it takes forever and I am not so patient, I'm afraid...

a bit modest...

You know, I am enthusiastic about the things that I make, but I am also modest. Who am I, that people would like to buy my paintings...
I must remember that people buy my paintings because they really like them!
So I have decided for myself to pay attention to my own enthusiasm, and today I sold three of my children's animal paintings to friends of mine and they are happy with it. They emjoy making their nursery comfy for the twins they will be receiving. And that makes me happy! :-)

Printing

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I received a book about printing by Lotta Jansdotter. She describes how to make prints on textile, stationary and so on. Just seeing the pictures makes my head spinning full of ideas. Hope to make some time to start practicing...
