Gemeentemuseum - dag vier

The final batch of pix from the trip to the Gemeentemuseum - and a walk along the nearby dunes. Rodin sculpture. Paintings by Toorop, Signac's Cap Lombard Cassis (1889), Pieter Saenredam's Interior of the Cunerakerk in Rhenen (1655) - he always strikes me as such a modern painter despite the vintage of his works (and descriptions provided here since my photo of the blurb on the museum wall didn't turn out), Kandinsky & Mondriaan.

After our tour of the museum, we took a walk along some nearby dunes & came home to Hein fixing a delicious dinner for us.

Off later for some acupuncture. Andy's on his was to WI. It will be lonesome here without him for the next week.

Rain, rain go away - not really - just hope I manage to make it to the clinic & back without getting too wet.

Gemeentemuseum Den Haag

Pix today from Guus & my visit to the Haag's Municipal Museum on 1.July.2012, featuring some early Mondriaans (who knew there were two as?).

Gorgeous out there now but rain coming in later - so if a toddle's in the offing, best I get to it soon.

 A couple songs I hope will brighten your holidays. Whiskey Christmas   and Holly Jolly Christmas (it's worth listening to the end)
