art and the fairytale that things aren't always what they seem...

Art , these works by Meret Oppenheim and the Idiots  ( Afke Goldstein  & Floris Bakker)   ... ... surprising... mesmerizing......enchanting......confronting .....and fascinating...quite some energy alltogether..

at first sight some of them seem just so  nice and lovely and straight out of a fairytale but  another look at them tells things are not what they seem and it gets quite confusing...

Sundaymorning

Sunday in Januari.... a bit of cleaning , a bit of impatience for longer days already, a bit of rearranging stuff in the head.....and 

looking at the old flowers, can't throw them away, old and lovely

 trying to get  the male in the house eat healthy again after the holidays, they think I'm funny...

and white Narcissus...
wonder how white Paper White is...wait and see...maybe next Sunday
