August 2: Option #1 Artist inspired: Piet Mondriaan

Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan, known after 1911 as Piet Mondrian, was a Dutch painter and art theoretician who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He was one of the pioneers of 20th-century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style, until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements.

Oh this is wonderful Jolanda! Immediately recognize Mondriaan style! (Some years ago kids had to do a paint work inspired by him but there was so much rules it was boring lol). I love what you did! Your messy paint in background and layers is really cool as the geometrical designs with the primary colors. And love your clusters! It is such a beautiful page for such beautiful and lovely pictures! Great take on the challenge!!!:wub:
 
And to answer you, I recognize a lot when I see old pictures physically and we have a very similar behavior and way of think except I think she is really introvert and too sensitive to others. (I was too but not as much). I would love helping her answer to people who are not nice with her for example. But we share the same values. My son is different obviously because he is a boy but he won't talk a lot but I know he is also such a sensitive guy! He has difficulties to tell how he feels and sometimes it's difficult for him and me. But I love who they are!:) Your sons both look like you and their dad, they are so handesome! :)
 
What a gorgeous layout, Jolanda! :wub: I love Piet Mondriaan and his work reflects so much in your beautiful layout. I love the photos and the page design. I love all the layers and clusters. And I LOVE the series of photos. You rocked this challenge. :wub:
 
Ahh! I love this!! I saw your LO in the gallery and immediately thought that HAS to be inspired by Mondriaan!!

The messy background, layers, and clusters are such a great contrast to Mondriaan's clean lines and basic shapes. So well done!
 
To answer you, Thank you for your sweet message!
I understand you would have love having a daughter. When I learn I was having twins, they were sure the first baby was a boy and they weren't sure for the second. I wish so much it would be a girl and she was. Lol. But finally I love my boy as much as my daughter. I mean the relationship is a little different especially now but I love having a boy.
And I also think it depends of the personality too because some girls are terrible lol and some boys too. I guess we have both kind kids which make a difference. :D
Your two sons are really cute and seems great boys!
I agree with you about being sweet. My kids are all the same and too sweet isn't easy in life right now but you're toally right the world needs kind people. Your two sons are handsome and looks really cool and nice guys! I guess it is also because of you and their dad!:)
Yeah for the 2 female dogs! It balance the feminine vibes!:D
My kids would love having a dog.
And the girl power is also for the boys lol! I keep telling to my son how the feminine right were and still are difficults to have. He is aware of this. I'm so sorry about all the new movment of man against woman. So sad!
Truly appreciate sharing with you!:)
