After returning from Dijon, I lived and worked in Belgium for a few years, in 's-Gravenvoeren. I rented a nice little house there on the edge of the village.

In 1977, I participated in the traveling exhibition, "Art from the Voerstreek," featuring four landscapes of Dijon. In 1979, I organized a joint exhibition with three other artists at the Agnietenkapel in Gouda, and in 1981, I participated in the BBK Limburg exhibition in Venlo with four paintings.
