Sward of Damocles

 I'm so sorry for my long absence.

We experienced the sward of Damocles above our heads.

'Apartmentization' has been threatening our peace and quiet.

The past year I focused on objection and appeal,

thinking about arguments and relevant objections,

it was absorbing a lot of time and energy.

We expect there will be another building application soon...

but we did win the first battle.

So far so good ★

Vincent's Shoes

According to my dad my aunt painted 'Vincent's Shoes' for me ☺︎

Already the shoes seemed a bit too modern to me

when my aunt mentioned her inspiration came from minister Hugo de Jonge's shoes.

At that time he was ordained as minster of health, on the king's staircase platform.

She said his shoes were made by multiplied disabled people.

Due to the press he wore handmade Portugese shoes.

But What's in a Name?

Besides isn't that what art is all about?

Multiple interpretation possible, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I just enjoy the 'skon skoen' ☺︎
