First or Second | we are open

As you might have noticed we have been a little bit absent the last weeks. The reason for this was the opening of our store First or Second in the Netherlands. The last week we have worked like crazy to get the whole store ready before we opened our doors on the 13th of September.



We are very proud and amazed by all the wonderful people who have helped us and all the great response from the people who already visited us.



For now above a short impression from the store. More about our 1or2 VILLA, 1or2 CAFE, 1or2 KIDS and 1or2 ART the next couple of weeks when we will be shooting some beautiful pictures and give you more information about the concept and our store.



You can ofcourse follow us on Facebook and instagram to stay updated.



We are glad to be back!

Richard Schmid 80 Years Birthday

If you ask me who is the best artist I consider. I will say Richard Schmid. I admire many artists, some are good at painting still lives, some are good figures, and some are good landscapes. However, if you ask who is good at everything. I will say Richard Schmid. I am very fortunate for painting with Richard a few times. They were very great and very informative. They have strong impact on my art. I am relatively a late starter in art, but study with Richard Schmid has significantly accelerated my progress.



Richard Schmid will be 80 years young in this October. Please join me and friends all over to celebrate his Birthday by participating the Global Birthday Card Party for Richard by the Village of Arts at Putney.



Thank you
