Open House t'Schienvat to promote Intuitive painting
Saturday
I was at the open house in 't Schienvat in Erica to present my course
in intuitive painting. A lot of people came to see the new courses
given in this coming season. I'll be looking forward to receive the
applications of those interested in following my course starting mid
October.
My presentation table
Visitors were invited to to do a small intuition test by connecting feelings with a few selected objects. This way they could be aware of how much more we actually use our intuition on a daily basis without realizing it.

Spotlight
Expoment/ Timpaan Welzijn Weststellingwerf
I want to take a moment to highlight the Work group Expoment (part of wellbeing foundation Timpaan welzijngroep) who made my current exhibition possible. After an invitation to exhibit my work at the MFC 't Vlechtwerk, co workers Jacques Platenkamp en Gerrit van de Meeberg told me about the special projects being realized for youth and projects to bring arts and culture to life amongst people. ExpoMent work group is one of the initiatives responsible for the exhibition and art projects. The professional approach and cooperations is inspiring and helps a lot of people, young and old, to discover and show their talents. Be it in music, painting, or just getting acquainted with creativity.
For more information you can check on their website. If you are willing to support the foundation please contact Jacques Platenkamp +31 (0)561-610327.

As you've been able to see when entering my website, there is a new intro. There are more changes installed for Gougondesign. For instance a new and improved gallery and the presentation of a new idea called SEE= Spirit, essence, education. This section is an extension on my visions which can be found in the reader's corner. Last but not least, I will properly give form to the graphic design section. So do come back regularly to see what's new in the time to come.

Major update in the section "work in progress"
January 14
It has come to my attention that some surfers are not able to view my gallery on their computer. That's why I've included a new album viewer to the gallery. Now there is a flash version and a static version. The flash version isn't entirely up to date. To view the complete and accurate collection it's best you select the static version named "Gallery Simple". Of course I'm working to find a good solution, so users of all operating systems and browsers can watch the same gallery.
New work added

For a while now it's been almost impossible to visit my website without any trouble. Especially at night and on weekends.

I hope all will soon be fixed so you can visit again without any inconvenience. Thank you for your visit.
