glinsterend pad klimt
naar de top van het duin er
hangt zout in de lucht		 glittering path climbs
to the top of the dunes there
is salt in the air

Koud, stil berijpt duin.
Een verre meeuw boven zee
krijst de dag open.		 Cold, calm frosted dune.
Far above the sea, a gull
shrieks the day open.

De klei omgeploegd.
Het veld, de duinen… alles
wacht op het voorjaar.		 Clay lays barren, plowed.
The field, the dunes, everything
waits for spring to come.

Zomer aan zee brengt
margrieten in de duinen
en een verre boot		 Summer by the sea
comes with daisies in the dunes
and a distant boat

I skipped last week’s blogpost ’cause I was so busy doing other things…

for one: I started a course “Paleography” last week (“Paleography is the study of ancient and historical handwriting – that is to say, of the forms and processes of writing; not the textual content of documents. ~ Wikipedia ~) and I had to make homework: transcribe this text from 1779.

It’s a pretty long time ago that I had to make homework for a study and I like it!

Now there’s another four pages of old text/handwriting waiting for me to transcribe this weekend – but today I gave myself the afternoon off to play in my atelier.

This morning I did some housekeeping and I wrote a haiku, so let’s start this blogpost with that one eh?!

Friday haiku

Laag winterlicht streelt
de toppen van de duinen
het helmgras huivert		 The low, wintry light
caresses the blond dune tops
Marram grass shivers

The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

While taking this course I have even less time left to be in my atelier, but I managed to get some Chronicles pages done in former weeks.

The Chronicles of Marit 2020 – Week 1

The Chronicles of Marit 2020 – Week 2

And you know what? The more time I spend on writing this blogpost, the less time I have to work on the next Chronicles spread… so this will be it for today, paint is calling my name! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. There’s plenty of space in the online classroom at LET IT LOOSE.
This online workshop starts on February 20: six weeks – 12 lessons, available in English and Dutch.

Interested? Find all the info on my website.

Harde westenwind
Waar zand hout ontmoet ontstaat
een nieuw duinlandschap		 Strong wind from the West
new dune landscape arises
where sand collides wood

op je tenen staand
moet je vanuit dat raampje
de zee kunnen zien		 Standing on your toes
in front of that small window
you should see the sea
