{A still life with pears, flowers and a fan}
Hello,
To end the week, here are some quiet moments captured by artist, Jan Bogaerts. A dutch artist, who was masterful at elevating simple items to the sublime. Objects that seem to have been left on a table near the front door or on the side board in the dining room. Minutiae from the day, letters, books, fans, forgotten and piled for another time.
I feel as if the people who regularly occupy these spaces have left and we are lucky enough to chance upon them, immediately understanding the domestic tranquility that pervades on a quite afternoon with only the furniture for company.

Unfortunately I cannot find any biographical information on this artist... Even so, I would love to have known him. His sense of brevity, while also attending to detail speaks to my soul, I know we would have been friends.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Liz
