Els Hattink, painter and photographer

 
 
As the local elections are approaching, any occasion is good for candidates to be seen in public. In the margin of an exhibiton of the Kunstkring (Art cercle) in Strombeek/Grimbergen (about 15 km from Brussels) politicians of different colors from different parties are present in the same bar and are not, if you judge by these photos,  all that much interested in the artistic event.
I was there because of my friend Els Hattink. Els is a photographer and painter. She participated in this exhibition with her paintings of which two are shown above together with her self portrait (photos 1 and 2). Do visit her website at http://www.elshattink.net/welcome.html

    Scusa la lunga assenza. Come Antonella preferisco il primo quadro e naturalmente mi sono guardato anche tutti i post che non avevo ancora visto.
    Un amichevole abbraccio.

    It's that time of year here...election time! The Presidential race and some members of both our House of Representatives and Senate are up for re-election. Television ads are up and running and the candidates are out in full force until election day which is November 6.

    You have a very talented friend! :)

    interessante tentoonstelling, ik heb net ook gekeken op de site van mevr. Hattink. Al haar schilderijen heeft ze in prachtige warme kleuren gemaakt. De Kimono serie bevalt mij erg. Lieve groeten, Dietmut

    Maybe our candidates should go to museums and places like that instead of the usual places they go - - would be a lot more fun!!

    So now you have elections, that's new to me that politicians come to an art exhibition. I have never seen one here! I like the selfportrait.

    Your friend is very talented! I am glad someone was there to support the artist and be interested if the politicians couldn't manage it.
