Alissa Watercolor on Fabriano paper 25 x 35 cm #ourlittleprincess #watercolor #child #portrait #painting #fabriano

Special and a bit creepy at the Montmartre cemetery! The face isn't coming forward but carved. It does give the impression he is following where you are going. #cimetièremontmartre

My little granddaughter Alissa 1 year old now, only baby talk, but she certainly can make clear when something is not going the way she wants! #drawing #pencil #child #baby #portrait

There are things I find succesful in my painting, but other things only so and so. It doesn't feel as a failure, not really, it has certainly teached me a lot! Maybe worth a 2nd attempt. #art #lightandshadow #stillife #watercolor

W.i.p. (but almost finished) I hope my fellow artists in the US will find a bit of solace in creating art during these turbulent times with sad situations.

Not enough contacts on here, so I am quite invisible. Thinking of ending this app

W.i.p. Portrait painting...my cup of tea. I feel I am growing in that, and that's wonderful.

W.i.p. Only a few things to do, adjustments, to finish this one! (Just a small practise to come in the flow from painting portraits again. I love my retired life!)

W.i.p. Something different and out of my comfortzone. It's asking layers and therefore a lot of patience. Subject: reflection in a window of an abandoned building #reflection #window #ghosttown #watercolor #painting

Sketchbook from my USA roadtrip. Not all are succesful sketchpaintings, but I had fun to do those and a happy time to relive the trip!

Testing my new walking shoes to tackle some trails next month

Visit to the abbey Villers-la-Ville. Great location! Beautiful maintained gardens aswell. Even a vineyard on terasses. I think me and my sketchbook could spend a whole day here!

How to bring someone joy and learn them to live by the minute, I have no idea.

A little apero time after work. Now still 5 (working) days before retirement!

Sketches done during our 3 days stay at Le Tréport (France)

Mers-les-bains, with it's 'belle epoque' villa's

Start of 3 days in Le Tréport.... In a charming hotel - old building but nice and very clean - great food (a lot of fish of course), gorgeous views,.. What more does anyone need to relax?

The result of a 2 days workshop by the amazing and fun guy, Herman Pekel! On the left the painting I have to finish at home ...

My birthday today! Looking forward to have a glass with my zumba friends this evening.

W.i.p. It was a risk, but adding a darker background is really helping to see more clear where I am heading.

'Smoutebollen' Not good for me to be honest. But they shouldn't be so damn tasty!

Bologna and the yearly gathering of FabrianoInAcquarello ( april 25-26-27)

Basilica di S. Vitale, Ravenna, Italy The most beautiful I have ever visited!

W.i.p. But ... it will be for a while. Tomorrow I am packing my suitcase for a trip to the amazing yearly event of Fabriano In Acquarello! For me, a gathering with friends from all over the globe. Love this! Followed by a painting holiday for a week.

The photo doesn't do it justice, but the flowers surrounding the statue of a duffelcoat (Duffel is where I live) are a beautiful view

Finally! First morning this week he let us sleep till 6.30 am! But after a morning in pj, now enjoying a bit of sun outside.

The warmest 12th July ever in Belgium! More of this, please!

Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance. Teddy Roosevelt, 26th President of the US

Great day in London! Changing of the guards at Buckingham palace, the RI of watercolours exhibition, and strolling through the city to see some other 'must see' spots.

@ellen-friedman.bsky.social it WAS delicious! But your friend wasn't there. Probably in the evening, but we were there at lunchtime.

The fascinating side of a visit to London. Today going to the Mall galleries, beginning with watching the guards at the Mall and Buckingham palace!

Concert in 'De Roma', a charming old theater in Antwerp. Paul Carrack and band. A great voice and great songs. I love to hear so much "in the living years". #paulcarrack
