I hardly ever seen a group of people observing with concentrated eyes and brains for so long to a piece of furniture as yesterday evening.
This was at the Patrons -patrons and patterns- dinner at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Reinier Baarse told us as much as he could about this intricate piece of furniture made in the 1650's for Amalia van Solms. He explained us the complexity of its designs that are actually a political statement as they were meant to impress the few persons who would see it at her palace and help her keep the power.
Later we talked even more about this historical cabinet and about working systems. He prefers to open all his books on his floor to reach aesthetic conclusions, I do it other wise by opening lots of windows on my computer screen. No difference in process just in tools.

Here a view of the richly decorated dinner table with a "pattern" theme.
On the other photo next to Jeroen Bok, water sports lover.
And the last one, I am standing next to Ronald de Leeuw director of the museum.
It is so luxurious to have nice conversations, delicious food and being surrounded by some of the greatest paintings of The Netherlands. I just love seeing my paintings!
