Michel in DC!

My favourite Belgian is in the Capital!! So great of him to share tons of photos and tell me how much he loves the city. What a sweetheart! I thought these photos were the best of the bunch.

Brussels

Today I put on my bravery-courage pants and took the train to Brussels to visit the Magritte Museum. I was totally terrified to do this, as I had never been to this part of the city, but I really, really wanted to see the museum. I got turned around and had to hide in a side street corner and pull out my map, but I eventually found the place and was so glad I went. The bathroom mirror was an especially delightful surprise!

My absolute favourite of all Magritte's pieces. It's lovely in every possible way.

Here is my own version of what I would submit to this blog:

René Magritte

Ah, Magritte. I have always loved his paintings and the odd perspective he seemed to have on this humble little world of ours. One painting in particular that springs to mind is of the boots that half way down transform into feet. However, my favourite is the portrait of the nude woman at the window whose flesh blends into the blue clouded sky behind her. No matter how you cut it, his work is consistently astonishingly pleasing to one's eye.
