it was great!

The exhibition was great!
There was lots to see, people were having a good time, having a sip of their drink and tasting one of the bruschetta's or fish-toasts. I really enjoyed talking with everyone and learning from all the tips, opinions and so on. Thanks for being there!
Maybe I'll post some pictures later on...

exhibition on the 31st of October

On Saturday the 31st October I will hold my first exhibition. I am looking forward to it. So many people have asked me about my style, about my work, and therefore I will show the different things I do.
My husband Siegurd will make really enjoyable snacks and drinks, so it will be a joyful gettogether! The exhibition is in a nice old farmhouse which is now in use as an office, so if you like to come, please do!

some pictures of the moment

Hey, here are some of the pictures I took a couple of days ago, enjoy!

"seize" the moment...

Okay, so how do you write that: seize, siege, [siiieess] the moment, I am at a loss here, I suddenly have no clue how to write that word... aah..
anyway: this morning started a bit cold here, only 6 degrees... But the sun was already there, so I took my camera and went for a small walk to capture this really lovely light of this early morning, and it was brilliant...
So I wanna tell you, seize the moment, go out and enjoy the sun, enjoy the light, enjoy those little glimpses of nature that can make your day... just do it, it may take you only 10 minutes, but do it!

Hand-made is one of the trends!

This week I read an article about the trends of next year, and one small part was about the trend of hand-made articles (or "handwerk" as they say in Dutch). They think that hand-made knitting, woodwork and so on will be THE thing in the nearby future, and that makes me happy of course. On the internet it is already a trend, and there are so many designers who make really nice things, I hope it will be a trend that will last!

What I've been up to?

Hey, time goes by easily... What I've been up to? I am now at the moment preparing some paintings which will be exhibitioned in my brother's practice in Delft. I need to make a small portfolio for that with pictures, prices, information and so on.

I am doing some administration, I am working on an assignment for my aunt, I have finished two paintings which I am quite proud of (and happy to have finished... because the finishing touch took me a long time, and I would like to get on with some other ideas), I have been busy for church, and I am busy with making some ideas with textile.

Yesterday, my mind was in a sort of spin, because I had been working so concentrated that I felt a bit dizzy... But I am fine, don't worry.

The image is just one of a series of some drawing I have been doing with pastel crayons, the picture is a bit dark, but you'll get the idea.

Ok, on to work now... no I am not stressed, just spinning...

Studio

This Saturday my family is coming to visit my workstudio... so I'd better clean up, put some fresh flowers, show my paintings and so on. Lots to do!
