Sinking boat

To be honest, my life has felt often like an almost sinking boat lately. On one hand Iam exploring new paths, which give energy and life. On the other hand Iam feeling the cold wind blowing through soaked cloths, tasting the salty water and trying to keep on standing while enormous waves crash into my boat and I have to toss many buckets of water out.

But I still trust in Him, that sleeping man on my boat.

Referring to Mark 4, the Bible

Antwerp

Again I traveled South to see friends and family. A good time. I also visited the city Antwerp. A few impressions of that beautiful place. I love the diversity of colours, people and a funny mix of construction,- demolition,- and historical sites.
At the M HKA (the museam of contemporary art) was an exhibition of film artist Chantal Akerman.

First phase

I finally started to paint again after a very, very long time. So good to pick up that brush and to CREATE!

(hope to keep you up to date over the next months with further phases of the painting)

Around my table

My home is my home. It took a while to make it mý place and start loving it. Around my table has become a good place to be. To create art together with others, enjoy food, enjoy friendship, and much more. I am home.

Traveling South-South/West

It's so good to have friends and family & spending time with them!

Playing with ink

Spend some time playing with ink this morning (with the topic 'spring'). I love the way ink flows in unexpected ways with water and the way the bright colours mix and give suprising effects. The children agree.

Lunch

Instead of having lunch at the shop, which I usually do, I went out. To sit on a bench in the forrest, while listening to some good music (Regina Spektor), and having my lunch box on my lap. A bit chilly today, but defenitely worth the effort.
