Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough time for my second post today because my wife and I were planning to drive to Hagen to meet her sister, which is about 150 km south of us. I had even prepared one of my heaviest and most effective masks for that occasion. However, my wife caught a bad cold, and we had to cancel the trip. While I’m not happy that she’s sick, I have to admit that I’m relieved that I don’t have to wear that very mask!
So! I thought the best way would be the easiest way to share the visit to an Art Gallery in our small town, Bielefeld, which we did last Sunday. Putting it bluntly, I do not have a good relationship with where I live. When I first moved here, it was a friendly “big” village filled with all peace and beauty. But it began to try to expand to become a big town, damaging its charm and losing every corner of what it once was. When Regina offered me to visit a museum last Sunday, I immediately thought of the City Museum, the biggest one in our town and the most boring one ever! But she had a different one in mind: “Kunstforum Hermann Stenner”. Also, I agreed, and when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see such fascinating art from somehow unknown artists and more amused to find out that most of them were women.
Anyway, here are you and this intriguing new art by the new generation.
I love this girl!

Have a lovely time! 💖🙏🤙

A visit to any sort of gallery is food for the creative soul – not all art is my cup of tea but I usually find some work I love. These are some intriguing pieces – I’m drawn to the spiralling sun painting and the sculptures…that last one looks a little Aztec inspired. Btw…that has got to be one of my favourite Melissa Etheridge tracks!

Yes, a great post Aladin! We visited a local museum last week too, it was great! There was a brilliant exhibition on that explored the Aztec culture. Have a lovely weekend too and I hope your wife’s cold clears up soon. Love and light, Deborah.

Yes, dear angel. Sometimes, it is often more enjoyable to explore lesser-known species than to focus on famous names. Regina is improving- thank you and blessing.🙏💖

Ah, yes, I’ve missed you, too, Aladin. I’ve been ghostwriting a book about how to help the homeless into permanent housing and it’s left me with no time to do any blogging or blog reading, sadly. Hope to be done soon and back to my regularly scheduled program! xox

I’m glad to see you are taking the “new normal” seriously. I do.

Love Melissa E. You picked great songs!
Okay, take care!

Modern Art does nothing for me. Most of the genre’s painting’s look like the end result of a four year old’s endeavors!!!

I must admit that while most modern art appears in my eyes to be rubbish, occasionally, I find an artwork that conveys a profound message.😉🤙

Wonderful and you avoided a visit that didn’t thrill you. Our local museum with great views of Cayuga Lake (another of the long Finger Lakes) always feeds my soul. I haven’t been there since winter. And now we have a Tibetan Museum, too. This time of year, the wildflowers and butterflies along the trail are my favorites. Soon, the cold will come and a museum will feel right.
