The beauty of nature, captured in glass…….. My sisters and I had a lovely day. How fragile we are……..

The title The Moonlight Garden refers to the moonlight garden at the Taj Mahal in India. This was built to reside in the moonlight at night: the garden as a protected place where man can lap up and marvel at the beauty of nature. This theme is decisive in the recent work of Marc Mulders, both in oil and in glass. His most recent stained glass window, also titled Moonlight Garden, is the radiant center of the exhibition. The window will be here for the first time to see, after the exposition it gets a place in a house in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
 

 

 

De titel The Moonlight Garden verwijst naar de maanlichttuin bij de Taj Mahal in India. Deze is aangelegd om er ‘s nachts te vertoeven in de maneschijn: de tuin als een beschermde verblijfplaats waar de mens zich kan laven aan en verwonderen over de schoonheid van de natuur. Dit thema is de laatste jaren bepalend voor het werk van Marc Mulders, zowel in olieverf als op glas. Zijn meest recente glasraam, ook Moonlight Garden getiteld, vormt het stralend middelpunt van de tentoonstelling. Het raam zal hier voor het eerst te zien zijn; na afloop krijgt het een plaats in een woonhuis in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

Everthing is going to be/collage

This image was the base for my collage. There was an inmense flood in 1953 in the Netherlands. Two months ago it was sixty years ago and there were several commemorations  to remember this tragedy.

When I was making another collageI found a match for this picture by coincidence. A coloured picture with trees, water and houses. I did not have a theme but now water became a theme.

Sometimes our soules are flooded with grieve or sorrow. Everyone has to face it. Tears and water are sisters. Then there was this calendar of Klimt, it was in my study in 2012. And on this  calendar there was a painting which is called the Water nymphs, Nixen, Silberfische.

It is a strange painting and when you turn it around the nymphs look like tears. I added a lovely green that  was in a magazine and I liked (a part) of the text on this page. The text has wisdom and philosophy. In the end I added the bird and the dots in acrylic paint.

And after two weeks I added the eyes, like fishes in the water....just like the nymphs and the tears...

and here it is:

Happy easter

Bird Mother
Mother of birds
Birth Mother



I have finished my collage and called it Bird Mother
Mothers try to protect their children against stormy weather
Everyone has to face difficulties
You can only be a guide

Happy easter to all of you

My second collage is a tuff one, I cannot find the background
but I will find it when I can let it go....
