the theme beauty is chosen by Nadine of tinyWoolf
there is so much beauty around me, for example
the simple forms of our Teema tableware and
the lamp above the dining table i enjoy every day
or the taste of chocolate with caramel and sea salt
and the cello suites of Bach i never get tired of
and my boys, my best artworks
beauty
been observed with all my senses
a matter of taste
beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
the sentence that has been in my head the whole week
when cleaning up the attic before i started painting the walls
i found my etching plates of nearly 20 years ago
and one i hadn't printed before
until today
schoonheid
er is zoveel schoonheid om me heen, bijvoorbeeld
de simpele vormen van ons Teema servies en
de lamp boven de eettafel waar ik elke dag van geniet
of de smaak van chocolade met karamel en zeezout
en de cellosuites van Bach waar ik nooit genoeg van krijg
en mijn jongens, mijn mooiste kunstwerken
schoonheid
waargenomen met al mijn zintuigen
een kwestie van smaak
schoonheid ligt in het oog van de aanschouwer
de zin die de hele week al in mijn hoofd zit
bij het opruimen van de zolder voordat ik de muren ging schilderen
vond ik mijn etsplaten van bijna 20 jaar geleden
en één daarvan had ik nog niet eerder afgedrukt
tot vandaag

BeantwoordenVerwijderenDon't know how etching really works, but the outcome is great. One of my favourites of this topic!
So Beautiful, Patrice, your etching press (not to mention the print). The photo of the press brings back such a beautiful memory of the print shop at University. I still miss those days! -sus
