Sunday, after a visit at a postcard fair, we drove home.
Instead of taking the highway we drove among the river.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972)
On Friday I like to blog about an artist I admire.
This week the Dutch graphic designer M.C. Escher.
He is famous for his mathematically inspired woodcuts, linographs and mezzotints.
In the Hague, in a former Palace of Queen Emma, there is an permanent exhibition of his work.
It's named the Escher museum, more information can be found here. The museum features a permanent display of a large number of his works

 |
| In his work is so much to discover. Day and night |
 |
| He travelled a lot as you can see in his work. High and low |

A walk in the forrest
This weekend I had this lovely dog as a guest.
She was the reason for a walk in the forrest.
We walked about 3 hours.
It's autumn but the trees are still full of green leaves
 |
We came across these sheep on an open spot in the forrest |
Purple in all her beauty

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.

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 |
