Profile
Joined RedBubble to show the world my art (oil painting) but, I guess typical of my age group, I indulge in anecdotes about my teaching career, Dutch background, life in Sydney, love of the beach (naturally).
And so, I do that right here. But, of course, I hope you appreciate my painting. 
Actually 2255 views!! But who’s counting?? (LOL)
.
Please visit my original Ozcloggie bubble , to view my paintings and drawings. 
Thoroughly enjoyed meeting a variety of people who came to my “remembering – an anthology” exhibition!
.
My high school had another reunion!! It was GREAT!!

Making Modern Australia. My part in it......
Suddenly there was a loud bang and the front doors burst open. Machinery flew through the building and my father and the young man climbed up on the roof.
R.T.A. - Really Taken Aback! "But I've paid." "No. You haven't."
No. I had not paid! The screen told them so! / . / I was surprised at how easily my mood swung from friendly chat to tears somewhere, inside, about shoulder-level. / .
The Lady in Red
Lady Jane Beach, is on Sydney Harbour and is a legal nude beach. / Lady Robinson Beach is not.
The candle factory.
In this photo, my mother is the only one, with styrine/candle wax down her apron, having had to, once again, rescue sister Juul, and prevent her from being scolded by the hot wax.
Featured in the family album.

The BEST Christmas present!
