Sometimes you stumble upon a story that speaks to you. I visited a small museum on the island of Vlieland and it appeared to be the home of a painter. And quite a remarkable one, a female painter called Betzy Berg from Norway, married to a Dutch man and fascinated by painting the sea.
You see a picture of her here below. She sits in a small custommade box, in which she could sit and paint without being bothered too much by the wind and the cold... It had wheels so she could pull it on and off the beach.
The story of her life is written in a book by Tineke Hendriks, it gives insight into her thoughts and methods, and passion to paint. Her road was not easy, but she followed her heart. The museum shows the house they were living in, her studio, her garden and some of her paintings. See for more information here, Trompshuys.
