arrival of spring by david hockney

Due to lack of museum visits in this lockdown, i bought the new David Hockney art book by Taschen for Henk.

And we also framed the exhibition poster The Joy of Nature, which we bought in 2019 during the visit to the exhibition in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

The poster of Hockney's painting The arrival of spring in Woldgate, fits perfectly at this time of the year. Bring on spring!

At the time, we couldn't find a suitable frame and fixed the Hockney poster on the wall with masking tape in my studio. We decided to adjust the size of the poster to the frame.

friday morning

Friday morning.

Together at the kitchen table, Henk working from home and i'm having a day off.

We are already quite used to it, although for me it is less drastic because I still go to work at Villa Augustus 3 days a week.

The desk in the living room we hardly ever use.
I always like to sit at the kitchen table, which now is Henk's office during the day.

Especially in the morning when the sun is shining it's a lovely space, and Henk allows me to sit at his desk haha...

This morning i was working on assembling the new loopy patchwork pillow i've made this week.

We drink coffee together and both do our own thing. We're glad we have adult children and no home schooling at the kitchen table.

Two new art posters on the wall.

We have poured a friday afternoon drink to toast to the weekend.

In the meantime I'm working on a new chevron pillow! Fun crochet project to work on.

lemon

This lemon is created by poster artist Michel Bouvet for the 35th edition of the Rencontres d'Arles, one of the largest photography festivals in the world.

Michel Bouvet creates the posters for the festival since 2002. It's a colorful series of fruits, vegetables and animals. The posters contribute to the unique visual communication of the festival.

We picked the lemon from 2004 to take home as a souvenir of the stunning photography festival we visited during our road trip.

The similarity with our lemon rug is awesome!

roosterR

This morning we already ate Easter fruitcake and sprinkles with tiny chocolate hares.
No Easter twigs or chocolate eggs in the house.
Only a rooster poster in the kitchen to get into the Easter mood...
