Marvelous Monday

Van Gogh 9

Monday morning, almost 6 AM. I tried to get up a few times earlier, but I had to go lie down on the sofa and sleep some more, because it was obvious that I was not done with that at all when I sat myself down behind this computer here. I have done [...]

Jesker Film

Yesterday evening, Eduard took Jesker for his little outing to do his business and it was raining, which got Jesker very wet. Eduard rubbed him dry with a big towel, as usual, and afterwards Jesker always does this happy little run as seen on this short film. We think he is very amusing, do you [...]

Painted Beach Images number 6.

I actually managed to sleep until four o’clock this morning, which I think is good enough and reason to celebrate with a good cup of coffee. Well, what else am I going to have so early in the morning, right? I am certainly not going to sit here with a glass of champagne. Imagine having [...]

Gaugin’s Chair Images number 8.

This is the second night in a row that I have woken real early because I have forgotten to take my sleeping pills. I put them on my night stand and then forget to take them. Silly me. It’s not falling asleep that is the problem, it is staying asleep. I would love to sleep [...]

Sparrow in Snow.

Well, I told you, I had my little sleep and here I am again, drinking my coffee, smoking my cigarettes, reading blogs, getting the day started. I wanted to go on the scales this morning, but then I forgot all about it and now I have had three cups of coffee, so I won’t. Every [...]

Old Pisa Door 2

If on a summer evening late

You say that beauty is perishable

And the pregnant moon contradicts your words

Do not let yourself be dazzled by the planets

Which also have the eternal life.

And if in the night of [...]

Amazed.

I am amazed again by all the things I saw when I visited my fellow bloggers websites. Some people are doing very interesting things in art and are explaining the process, leaving my eyes slightly glazed over with incomprehension. I see I need to go back to my Paint Shop book today and start learning [...]

Art and thoughts.

I am sitting here having my third cup of coffee after having visited my fellow blogger’s websites. As is usual, I read some interesting posts and saw some interesting images. It is always good to see what is keeping other people occupied, because it is all so diverse and so different from what I myself [...]
