Clock

Last weekend we spend a late afternoon with some good friends and their children in their garden. It was such beautiful wheater!
My friend is a collector and has collected lot's of stuff. One of his newest discoveries is this big old factory clock.
I love old clocks. Funny, I don't know why... Pieces of art, moving, with a history, a story, capturing time...




(this last photo isn't taken by me, but I can't remember where I got it from)

Another wolf story

I found this short animation (in 4 parts) on youtube. A beautiful film about a boy and a wolf... I love it! When I was younger I seriously thougth about studying animation to make films like these. One of the most beautiful parts of being an artist (or human being) is to emagine and create. To travel and enjoy the beauty in new worlds or stories...

(unfortunately films were removed on Youtube...)

birthday gift

Today we celebrated my birthday. This is a beautiful gift I got from my 2 oldest beautiful children.

They both made also another card and Micha even made an self invented game, with a little 7 mm bal and two pieces of folded paper and wood.
Isn't that awesome!

Easter weekend

We had a great Easter weekend. Friday the children and I decorated the eggs - great fun! It's interesting to see the differences between the children: Micha (7) paints very precise with different colours. Ezra (5) painted only with dark blue (all his eggs were completely covered with blue...) and Noah (almost 2) put more effort in decorating the egg holder than the egg and believed that was the intention of it all... They all had fun - so me too.


Saterday we went to a country estate with a castle for a walk. The children enjoyed playing at a little stream. Great to stand still to observe natures colours and shapes, hearing the sound of wind through the trees, and smelling the fragrance of spring...
