Clotheslines

Clotheslines are one of my great loves.

What can be more beautiful than these lines of -preferably white- billowing shapes amongst the green? Like temporary architecture almost.

I've been planning to make a print or painting about it, but thus far have only used it in our picturebook De vuurtoren (The lighthouse).

Above just a small part of the clean laundry I came across.

Away with the dryer!
