Den Bosch - Museum quarter - Wednesday 6th of November

An unexpected mild sunny day this Wednesday.

We planned a visit to Den Bosch and started the morning with a visit to the Design Museum and the adjacent Noord Brabant Museum.

We walked and did some shopping in the area. Our best-loved store in Den Bosch is Westside; three floors with fashion, art, accessories, vintage furniture, books, inspiration and a mellow plant corner.

I found a very special plant (never seen before) and came to collect my green baby at the end of the afternoon for practical reasons.

We had lunch at CÔTE Bar Bistro, and yes on the terrace in the sun on Parisian bistro chairs. (in November!)

and I swapped my funky gold leather boots for chunky sneakers at the end of the afternoon.

The landscape pieces by David Hockney portray the four seasons of the year in Hockney's beloved Yorkshire. With the loose application of paint and use of colours the work refers to one of Hockney's major sources of inspiration: Vincent van Gogh. "Van Gogh makes you see the world around you just a little more intently. He could draw anything and make it enthralling.", according to Hockney.

You can visit this exhibition of Hockney until May 17th in Het Noordbrabants Museum in Den Bosch. This exposition forms part of the theme year Van Gogh 125 years of inspiration.
