It was a pleasure to catch up with the artist Tonny Holsbergen after probably two years.
Her exhibition in Bait Muzna Gallery ‘A Day in Oman’
not only includes her beautiful paintings of Oman but glass sculpture of Bedouin Masks and Omani Khunjars.
For us this rounded off what could be a Dutch themed week, as earlier we visited ‘Festival City’ in Dubai and enjoyed Dutch Pancakes,
smaller than the English equivalents and a little less sweet (as I always swamped mine with sugar – and lemon to tone down the sweetness a bit).
Both these memories of Holland will be remembered when Queen Beatrix pays a State Visit to Oman early in 2012.
