Paintings

I have always been ignorant to the history of paintings and painters. Whilst in school, there was no subject that thought us about famous painters or paintings. The famous ones, for example, like the Mona Lisa, I discovered that through watching documentaries or films. I never took any interest in it until I moved to Flanders. Thanks to my significant other (whom is a qualified Historian and a great and patient teacher to me) I was introduced to a world of such wonderful and historical colours. Learning and reading about the lives of Vincent Van Gogh and his “colleagues” has opened my eyes, head and how I see the world. Our recent visit to the Museum d’Orsay in Paris was such an eye opener for me. Paintings reached out to me like never before and I am so proud to be able to appreciate them even more now. Some brings me such peace and joy.

I am fortunate enough to meet a handful of local artist here in Flanders. Through my place of work, I met someone whom paintings I can appreciate and perhaps one day can afford to buy. I have only attended one exposition by him but I already like his style of painting. Below, is one of my favourites by TR. There are many more but this one stood out but it is already sold!
