long time

Well, I havent been very disciplined to write once a week, but a tremendous change happened in my life with which I was totally preoccupied. I have left my home country, Belgium and moved to my husbands home country, Turkey. It is a big change, but one which was already in my head, when I first met my husband 11 years ago and now finally we are here. I have started a blog (only in Dutch) for my family and friends in which I explain a little what is going on here.


Now for my artistic ambitions... we have rented a place here, which I will be using as gallery and atelier. I will be a fulltime artist...scary but really exciting. Since I have moved, my website is gone offline, since the provider isnt available here in Turkey. I was planning to make a new one anyway, and I hope to do this within a couple of months. I am going to work together with a fellow artist who does mainly landscapes with oils and palletknives and I hope to make him a site as well.


Well... so far the big changes in my life. Now, the portrait of the boy which I was working on didnt get finished. I really feel a little bad about myself, since I promised him. Definitely I am going to finish it, but right now more important issues are going on. My first commission portrait did got finished (way back in May or such - money I earned from it is also finished ...lol ) and here is the result.



Again a baby portrait. For my next portrait I definitely want some hair to paint. I like to do hair, but I am not yet completely an expert to it. If you happen to have a nice picture and have great hair and are a woman (I prefer women or girls to make portraits) please mail it to me. I need something to do for fun, no promises though.
Well... I have done other artisitc things also but apparently dont have any pictures of it on my pc. Probably for later.
