Marieke Janssen is a fine artist … and my friend.  We went out for lunch in Oostende and talked about this, that and the other thing.  It was easy.

Marieke’s exhibition was her first as a solo artist.  Her smile filled the body, not just the face.

The gallery was small but Marieke’s creations blessed the rooms:

People came to chat with the artist and admire her work.  The Dutch speaking was fast.  I had no idea what they were saying.  But there was pleasure and raised eyebrows … and purchases.

I loved this one:

I went searching for my favourite painting.  I found it.  And bought it:

They’re looking at someone or something.  The destination has them.  And the sun is happy to accompany.  An honoured spot on one of my walls awaits.

I need music

I need writing

Good things to need!
