The rhododendrons in the forest are going to bloom. Within a couple of weeks now and it’s party time in the forest, then the flowers will color the whole forest purple. We also see a lot of young animals, such as rabbits, birds and we already have seen a fawn.

We are also busy with our future: we have planned so many exhibitions, that the preparations for this takes a lot of time and I must take good care this is not going to mix up. So I run from Vancouver to Monaco and back again J.

My right wrist seems to heal very well now. I’ve been pretty active with my wrist and it looks like everything is going to go well at last (after 1.5 years with a “simple” fracture). I am very very happy with this.

Our agent copped out a week before the beginning of the show. Since we ourselves were not able to go to New York in such a short notice, we were  not able to set up the booth. In cooperation with the Organization we found someone to do this for us and also take care of the booth.

But then our flight case with all our work turned out to be missing. A horror scenario.

 

We landed friday evening in New York and we went directly to the ArtExpo. Eventually the flight case was found and someone from the organisation set up the booth for us.

The last two days of the art fair were rather succesful, we had some sales and lots of interest in our work.

Of course, we missed the opening night , which is the most important night, with lots of opportunity to network.

The artsquare at the Keukenhof  (the famous flower bulb show) was again a big party with lots of visitors. On some days it was so busy that the visitors had to queue  to see the show.

We enjoyed these days very much.  We had also some sales and found some good contacts to explore further business.
