Father and son in Venice in their vino bar. Such nice men. My last hours I spent with them. Now I'm back home. Tired but very satisfied with the sketches I made, the people I've met.

Leaving Genova for Venice. Now waiting for the train.

Today I cycled to Nevri, near Genova, Italy. It was a beautiful day.

Sketch of the chalet I'm staying this week. From the entrance I can see the school of Célestin Freinet, it's a 5 minute walk. Lucky me!

In the morning I have the best view ever.

Learning capacity measures outdoors, with (a lot) of water. Afterwards the plants and trees are happy: a win-win situation. At l'École #Freinet in Vence.

Watching the children of l'École Freinet here at the theater, it's like you're in an other era. They had theater class today and it was great fun watching them. What a magnificent place.

Before lunch the kids went to the garden to plant some bulbs.

The #Freinet school in Vence has a real cave. Every morning the young children climb to this beautiful place to eat their fruit.

A view from the place where school meetings are being held. Lots of trees here at l'École Freinet.

My second day at l'École Freinet in Vence. I was surprised to see the great similarity in the way I used to teach children reading. And oh, call me old fashioned, but I love the old blackboards.

I arrived half an hour before the opening of the #Chagall museum, so I decided to draw while waiting. Inside the museum I was overwhelmed and touched by the paintings of Chagall. A must-see if you're in Nice, France.

Some kids were busy making art for carnaval at École #Freinet in Vence. (2)

I tried to capture the scene.

In Köln is a lot of art. In MAKK, in Ludwig, in the Dom.
Reading the news about the world today, this quote of Max Beckmann hit me. As if we are watching a surrealistic theater show. OMG!

Two very sweet cats, some racoon paws prints and sunny pictures from Köln.

After a day filled with family, I took my sketching stuff and enjoyed the silence, sun and crispy cold air.
