Oil on cardboard \u2013 7 x 9,5 inch \u2013 Unique work<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schreierstoren Caf\u00e9, built in the 15th century, was originally a part of medieval Amsterdam. It owes its name to its Tower which was the spot where sailors’ wives said goodbye to their husbands before leaving for sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I went there with my\ndaughter on Saturday June 15, 2024 on the occasion of the opening at\nIJpassage at Amsterdam Central Station of one of my paintings (A\ngreen mill in a field of tulips, an oil painting 20×24 inches) among\nother artworks on a giant digital screen for 7 days. In a few\nfigures: 299 artists from 38 different countries to show 377\nartworks. After the opening of this unique event, we had a meeting in\nthe Schreierstoren caf\u00e9 with the organizer and the artists who\nwanted to join the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before entering the\ncaf\u00e9, we come across a couple that I had seen at the station, I\nspeak to them in English. And yes, they agreed to participate in the\nafter-party. Very quickly we realize that we can speak French, they\nare Belgian! We enter the establishment, a very beautiful place, and\nwe go to the room provided for this purpose. An old-fashioned\ndecoration, obviously! Very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took a table with\nthis couple and stayed together all evening. It was nice to exchange\nbetween artists our techniques, our previous jobs, our similarities\nalso in our culture and our day-to-day life. After all, Belgium is\nvery close, it\u2019s Europe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about\nfood and drinks at will! A fresh chardonnay, and a variety of Dutch\nspecialties: cheddar nachos with guacamole and fresh cream, fries\nwith mayonnaise, fried meat and cheese balls, vegetables (carrot,\ncelery, cucumber and tomato) with dips. And for dessert : lemon curd\npancakes or apple pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food was\nfantastic and we talked a lot too. Not to mention the artists, very\nartistic, deep in marketing and experts in selling their image! I\nadmire this ease which is not at all in my DNA. I like solitude and\npainting in peace. I also like to interact with people who come to\nmeet me at an exhibition. I could talk for hours but it\u2019s in a\nsmall group!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
