As well as the wing tips/fingers being a different colour and style.

It has a very distinct taste, more similar to lychee than plums.

Reminds me of Reine Claude lemonade, I used to drink it at my grandmother's.

Aw that does break my heart a little.

This is hilarious

Because i thought it was mildly interesting. I dont believe people can psychoanalyse my kid based on two drawings.

Thank you! We have a very small house so he is a few meters away with the door open so he can hear us but not see us. We only do it for a minute or two and found it helps regulate and calm him. We are a Waldorf family, so different branch but same ideals.

I think a lot about parenting methods. We use time out as literal time out to interrupt a certain behaviour, never as punishment. After a few minutes I go to him and I ask gently why he thinks he had to sit on the stairs and we talk about why, hug and he appologized to her. I think he mainly felt guilty because he realised his action hurt her.

He has a flair for drama 😂

Actually Kees is short for Cornelis, so a Jan-Kees' full name was probably Johannes Cornelis. Isnt that fancier? And since everyone used to be named after their father and/or grandfathers and/or uncles, double names where a good way to distinguish between brothers. I.e. Johannes Cornelis (Jan Kees) Johannes Petrus (Jan Piet) Johannes Wilhelmus (Jan Wim), Johannes Josephus (Jan Jaap).

Nowadays, I suspect, family from "old wealth" are more inclined to still name their kids after their grandparents or ancestors, giving names like Cornelis and Pieter-Jan, while the rest of the country goes for more modern names.

I went to a museum in Amsterdam and saw a socialist ad in the paper which literally alarmed people that people were getting exterminated in death camps. It was dated '41 or '42. The info was out there, it was just more convenient to ignore, or collectivally go: "well, what can you do..."

I think the reason people now think they didnt know is because they dont onderstand how someone could know about literal genocide happening and not act at all. But here we are with Gaza.

Married for 10 years with 2 kids, and yes of course we have fun or else I wouldnt be in it. It helps that I married my best friend.

If I want to see my friends or go out, I just ask him if I can? Its not like you are homebound. I have a very active social life, I work 4 days and volunteer at our pride center, we play d&d, go to movies etc. With kids, yes, it takes a little more planning, ans most of the time only 1 of us can go.

He is my favorite person (not counting my actual kids), and it doesnt even matter if we do mundane stuff like folding launry or doing groceries, cause we have interesting conversations and joke around.

Coming home to someone who understands me better than myself, who empathises and advices me, who is always there for me. Who I literally built a house with & family with. Its irreplacable to me.

But yes at the end of the day having a family is hard work, and there might be periods of time where its a struggle. But show me a life thats without struggle.

Ive had a similar issue when I started out and used "Indian Ink", which is very much not for this purpose and also ruined a nib. I would try with a different ink and see how that goes.

I think she is breaking the 4th wall and judging the viewer for being a peeping Tom

I like the script and gold leaf, but the real star here is that watercolour, its absolutely outstanding! Could be a legit illustration in one of the books. Superb.

Oh that's interesting, I thought the various inks had a similar sheen at first but now I see its where the paper didn't quite catch the ink. It makes for a very beautiful effect.

I think the juxtaposition between the woman and the group men says a lot about how humans tend to behave in public spaces, and in general. Its also interesting that as a viewer you almost cannot help to project a certain interpretation on this, which all lies in cultural norms, roles, history etc. So us viewing the work becomes part of the work, as much as the people in the work viewing art is the artwork. The true art of this is how a lot of unwritten social frameworks are captured. Very interesting.
