No works selected :-(
Nevertheless positive reactions ... they find my work open-minded, spontaneous and non-academic.

It will also be on show in Luxembourg.

New painting

Finished today painting 088 I started 2 weeks ago ... Goddess IV.3 is one that will be on show in hotel Mélia.

The exhibition in Luxemburg

Just went this Friday to Hotel Mélia in Luxemburg do drop of 6 paintings (goddessess II.1,  II.2, III.2 and IV.1 and the smaller ones 'brown'  'purple' ... cf my gallery-blog). You can find them all in the VIP-lounge. They find them very colourfull and hope it will bring a bit of sunshine in their hotel. All seems going well. 3 other small paintings are at the shop to be gleud on wood as the other two at Mélia and goddess IV.2 is still drying.

Next exhibition starts next Friday afternoon.

Good news ...
I just have been contacted by the hotel Mélia in Luxembourg for the upcoming exhibition.
I can start next Friday with 2 small and 3 or 4 big paintings.
They will be exposed in the lobby and the vip-launch on the lower level.
I am taking the following paintings with me ... we shall see which ones will be on show.
The smaller ones : Brown & Purple

and the bigger ones will be : goddessess II.1, II.2, III.1 and perhaps IV.2 if it is dry !

Painting again

Started to paint again last week for the next exhibition in Luxemburg ...

Here are some pictures ... First the smaller ones ... p083, p084 & p085

... and then the big ones ... p086 & p087 from the series the goddesses ...

I am really into it now ... as I work 4/5, I am free on Friday ... time to make free for painting-sessions.

New ideas !

Going to work also 3-D with assembled sculptures. Wood, nails, copper-leaves, silver-leaves, metal-wire, etc ... Assembeling different pieces together to re-make the trees we humans destroy.
We will see ...
Collected some pieces of wood last Friday when i drove back from Luxembourg through the Belgian forests.
Also bought today different kind of material ...

Next big exhibition !!!

Great news ...
Went today to meet the staff of hotel Melia in Luxembourg.
They want to exhibit my paintings after the Christmas-period until April 2010.
10 big paintings like the 'goddesses' (already got 5 of them) and 5 smaller ones like 'Purple' and 'Brown' (3 others to paint).
As the goddesses I've got are painted on unstreched canvas, I need to get them streched. I also need to have new streched canvas to paint the other. I will paint 6 new goddesses to have a total of 11. The middle one I painted in Hasselt during the event 'Ruimte te gebruiken' is perhaps a bit to risky to show ... We will see what the hotel-staff will tell.

Realy thrilled for this big solo-exhibition.
Thanks Thai !

Separation

Hubert and I descided to break our relationship. Time to get both apartments ready and we will live separatly.

New exhibition

Got an email today.
Hubert and I are going to exhibit a few of our works during the parcours d'artiste at Chimay.
Looking forward to that !

National festivities

When going to the upper part of the city (I wanted to go to the Bozar for a few visits for free) I saw a series of horses comming up to the Parliament. It were the royal guards and they all lined up for the king and family to pass by.


Went afterwards to the Bozar and visited first the Jan de Cock exhibit - dreadfull (3/10)
Also saw the Young Belgian Painters Award 2009 - a few spectacular pieces I liked very much ! (8/10).
Went afterwards to visit the Cours des comptes/Rekenhof - a bit dissapointing.
Ended with the Museum of music instruments - always nice to do this one (8/10)
Was realy exhausted when i came back to the appartment for a little nap.
Afterwards went to a noodle restaurant in the centre (8/10)
Late in the evening saw the fireworks from my balcony.

A realy nice day !

black day !

Been to the doctor this evening ... bad news ... artrose in neck and muscle in leg ... both nothing to do about it ! Those pains will never go away ... only higher dose of anti-pain tablets and massage !
Had a few tears in my eyes when I told it to Hubert ! Cf message 24th ... this time it will NOT become better ... just wait and wait and wait and wait ... going downhill now !

working at the appartment

Johan (konijntje), plummer, and Rudy, tile-layer, did a fine job at our appartement ... but what a mess ... all dust everywhere ... even in the cupboards ... this will be for a few weeks ... as always in those situations : you have to wait and wish it will become better !

day at home

As always at our place Sunday equals breakfast-brunch! In the afternoon made a tajine with tomato, chick-peas, garlic, mint, coriander and kefta (little meat-balls) served with couscous ... they almost finished the paltes.

day at home

As Claudine (punaise) was here for the weekend ... big breakfast ! And with the kids at evening-dinner prepared a home made lasagne with green-beans ... they said it is delicious... (ego brightens up)

Indian Restaurant

Been with Hubert, my kids and Punaise (good girlfriend of Hubert & me) to the indian restaurant behind the corner ... had a few marvelous dishes and naan-bread ... DIVINE !

My flat

Hi ...
Time to share an art-work of Hubert - a curtain in my flat. Here are some pictures ...
