New blog

Dear all, this blog has retired, but I have not!
Please come visit my new blog over at FASO to read my news and see the latest paintings.

You can subscribe to blogposts by RSS and/or subscribe to my Email newsletter.

Thank you for your interest - hope to see you there!

We are moving!

To all subscribers, followers, and visitors of this blog: we are moving! 

It has been quiet here lately. Posting to my blog, website, Daily Paintworks and two Facebook pages left me scatterbrained, and the blog as well as the website suffered.

To combat this 'internet fatigue', I have moved my blog, website and newsletter to a new site, where they are integrated in one place:

minekereinders.com 

As this blog is a record of sorts of my last five years of paintings, I will not delete it, but this will be my last post here.

I thank you for your interest in my work, and hope you will join me at my new site.
Mineke.
