Frans Everbag made this image of Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam using paint, ink, and etching on paper. Just look at the way Everbag captured the essence of Amsterdam! The etching feels like a memory, doesn’t it? I can almost feel the cool mist rising from the canal. I wonder what he was thinking about as he worked on this piece? Maybe the way the light hits the buildings at a certain time of day, or the quiet rhythm of city life. It's like he’s inviting us to slow down and appreciate the beauty in the everyday. Artists are always in conversation with each other, across time and space. Each stroke is an invitation to reflect on the city and our place in it.
