When I woke up this morning and looked outside, I saw a typical Dutch sky…
\nBlue sky, white clouds, the sun was shining and wind was blowing
\nso the first thing that came\u00a0to mind was: LAUNDRY DAY!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen I closed my eyes,
\nI saw images like this<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSweet dreams…<\/p>\n

This is more
\nwhat it looks like
\nover in my little
\nbackyard!<\/p>\n

(Only I have
\nwhite sheets
\nhanging on the
\ndrying frame
\nright now.)<\/p>\n

Between washing and hanging laundry, I finished\u00a0the Leonard Cohen
\nArt Journal page I started this weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This page is inspired by lyrics of the song “The Future<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Used materials:
\nHeavy gel medium\u00a0(shiny)
\nAcrylic paint.
\nCut out\u00a0circles from patterned paper
\nDictionary paper
\nBlack sharpie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDetail:
\n“Repent”
\n(“Repentance” =
\n“berouw” in Dutch)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought the gel
\nmedium last week,
\nand I’m very
\ncontent with it!
\nI like\u00a0its texture –
\nsee the strokes
\nof the brush?<\/p>\n

OK now, this is it for today.
\nOff to take the dry clean sheets from outside and put them back on the bed.
\n(I love sleeping between clean sheets that smell like wind and blue skies!)<\/p>\n

I’ll be back on Friday with a brand new Lotus Paperie lay out; you too?<\/p>\n

Je t’embrasse.<\/p>\n
