Ooow, very eerie. Nice work.
Yes, I know. Its my first time posting on Illustration Friday & Im not sure where I went wrong or how to fix it. Maybe my link name is wrong. Thankyou.
Thought provoking. Reminds you of how temporal life really is.
Very poignant, with such a feeling of time and distance.
What a great story-tribute you have built! Very satisfying.
Ooooh Jansje went missing!!! I had a great Uncle who did the same after WW11 ... left a dark hole ...
thank you all!
Jansje really went missing and nobody know what happened to her. the story is that one day her younger sister (Stien), who used to pick her up from work because she was almost blind, was later than usual and she was gone.. the police and everybody searched but she was never found...
if there had been an accident the police would have found out.. so either something terrible happened to her (the thought makes me shiver) or she ran away, migrated to another country, the US are a possibilty...
That pretty memory... the photos of my grandparents of that epoca are in Germany and Russia...
Best wishes from Buenos Aires...

Poignant and heartfelt.
oh, this entry broke my heart. i hope she ran away and emigrated somewhere. i hope she had a family with lots of children.
no good ever comes from war. none. it's all bad.
Nice to meet you...thanks for popping by my blog...I have so many missing pieces from the past too...
This is so beautiful and your blog is amazing! I wish you would write more about your interesting life!
Your blog is fascinating. And I appreciate your comment on my drawing. I do know what you mean. :-) Is this really about your life, or is this a tribute to a relative of yours? May I ask how old you are?
Blessings.
vfm4 this is a tribute to your grandparents right? eh i actually calculated, 6 years old in 1882 would be 132 years old now...
