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' ☺︎

Kunst op de Koffie

What can be better than an interesting combo of art and interior...

Last weekend we visited and experienced Kunst op de Koffie edition 2019

one of the artists talking about her work... Czilla Klenyánszki

Spijkerkwartier in Arnhem feels like such a nice neighbourhood..

an artist exhibiting in a house under construction... Korrie Besems

a beautiful original sash window...

Some sketches from artist Meg Forsyth
To me this was the most beautiful combination of artwork and interior...

being occupied talking to the owners of the house (smile) only one photo was taken.
Not doing any justice to the artists work and owners' interior.

I couldn't help photographing some personal artwork of the residents...
besides the artwork of Silvia Steiger

a pink satin breasts dress (an earlier post with breasts here)

A nice light and airy space with wide opening folding doors to the garden...

Have you noticed the cups and saucers floating above the table?

artwork Bart Lunenburg

artwork Christina Coridou

And a magnificent sound producing and moving piece of art... Karel van der Eijk

You can find my photo's from edition 2017 here.

In case you've been visiting my blog for a longer time,
you might know I'm a huge fan of artist Gerrit Neven.
You can find earlier posts: here and here.

Recently we were lucky enough to meet and talk to him again!

When we bought our fist watercolour from this artist,
I did mention I'm really fond of pollarded willows (smile).

And then unexpectedly we received an email... Gerrit Neven was
hesitating to say goodbye to his most favourite watercolour ever but...
he was probably also realising we would cherish the work in our living room
after having been the pièce de résistance in his living for quite some time.
Thankfully he thought of us, his Belgian admirers (big smile).

A couple of weeks later in the gallery...

a sneaky shot...

Weekend!

I'm really sorry for my absence... I've been too busy.

But the specimen pots have been washed on the outside.

Some of them can use a good clean on the inside as well.

For now I'm wishing you a nice and tranquil weekend!

Back to Reality

After fully being recovered, I've been enjoying my last days of my summer holiday.

It was just me, myself and I (and two lots of attention needing cats)
because the kenderman started working again two weeks earlier.

No worries! I love to be able to do whatever I want.
I've been visiting my dad, friends, IKEA and some thrifts shops.
I've been organising our home, cleaning, washing,
reading, walking and eating...
