The beautiful summer is over again!

What a summer… ☀️

Looking back while it's raining and the candles are burning once again, I mostly think about how much has emerged. Sometimes planned, often just because it happened.

Two successful editions of:

ONE DAY GETAWAY – in The Secret Garden. Eating together, sharing stories, creating, playing, reflecting, and celebrating my now 5 years of Blauwprint.com and bringing that along. Thanks Kim😘

I painted outside, exhibiting my art among the trees as an experiment for what is to come, working from my created Botanical Atelier in the garden greenhouse and made my first IES TOTEART bags which I naturally now also take with me on my adventures.

And our garden received a very special extra memory this summer: our son Rowdy and daughter-in-law Kim got married there. ❤️ Magical 💫 and it brought a positive boost to work on the garden... it bloomed! 🏡

Even outside my Secret Garden, everything kept moving.

My art can be seen at Bovendonk | Development & Events location where I have my HUB168 situated between the history, grandeur of the monastery, and the unique architecture of Pierre Cuypers.

My latest works were installed yesterday in the beautiful hall next to the Brasserie. Proud of the ongoing exhibition called;

ART WORKS TALKS

Feel free to stop by. I’d love to take you along to see my work and the stories behind it. And if something catches your eye that you’d like to have at home, that’s possible too.

Through CLOCK Your Skills, I had the opportunity to be a mentor within the project with the BAYIMBA Foundation in Uganda. As a Peer Reviewer, I was able to delve into beautiful portfolios of international artists who are working towards recognition of their professional practice at Level 7 -🙏🏽 Denise Stanley-Chard

And then I was made to think again. 😉

Kim Merema invited me to engage in conversation this summer in a one-on-one Blauwprint.com setup in the sandbox with miniatures. It's remarkable how this methodology, which I've been working with for years, revealed something new again. And I'm heading into my 6th year of licensing 🥂💙

And yes… that naturally arose next to the

ONE DAY GETAWAY another idea out:

DIG A LITTLE DEEPER

A personal 1-on-1 Blueprint session, with me in The Secret Garden. 🌱

Would you like to discover what your own setup reveals? Then I invite you to my garden for a cup of coffee, tea, something sweet, and possibly lunch. Send me a message, and I will send you the information.

And yourself? I'm going to continue exploring.

Spain is already coming along in my mind and suitcase. Because I can still go there too 🇪🇸

The dream of having my own Secret Garden Garden Studio/office is growing further, and I have already created some designs. 🏡🤩

What's also super cool is that in 2027 the exhibition with the Indy Collective will be on the agenda in Eindhoven. A collective of artists... with Indonesian roots. Very special 🙏🏽

But first... let's take a look back at a summer where apparently quite a few seeds were planted...

A new year begins for me in September!

Happy New Year 🥂
