Surprise

To my surprise I found in my Etsy Stats that I got views through the website of Dutch magazine 
'101 Woonideeën'. It was a blog about summer and they showed my vintage cardbooklet from Suisse.

René Magritte

One of my favorite artist is the Belgian painter René Margritte. (1898-1967)

The school teacher (1954)

Le blanc-seing (1965)


There is always something strange in his paintings

La grande  guerre (1964)

Golconde (1953)

Painting on a house, the picture was taken  in Berlin in 2012

The images are scans taken form the book Margritte by Jacques Meuris 

except for the last one, that one was taken by me.

Photographs

I recently joined Society6 (you can find my photo's here). I spend lots of time looking at all the gorgeous photo's from many talented artists. Here are a couple of my favourites.

bird and wire

Sunflower

Two months ago I plant a few seeds 

A few weeks later they became a real plant

Every day I give it water and named it 'Vincent'

And now I know why Vincent van Gogh liked sunflowers so much

A beautiful dragonfly

Little package, big surprise

When I was a young girl, I liked to rollerskate

What a big surprise to recieve a brooch today from my daughter. 
She ordered it from this lovely Etsy shop.

An Afternoon in 's Hertogenbosch

Hidden below the old city is a canal network called the Binnendieze it used to be 22 kilometres long. It started out as a regular river, the Dommel, running through the city in medieval times but because there was not enough space in the city, people started building their houses and roads over the river.

In recent decades, the remaining six of the old waterway systems has been renovated, and it is possible to take a guided boat trip through it.
