Welcome to Stroll Along

A quiet place where ordinary things become extraordinary through curiosity, painting and prose.

I’m Marlene, the artist, writer behind La FlâneuZe.

I’ll be your quiet guide as we wander through stories, paintings and places that invite us to slow down, notice, and wonder.

Whether you’ve just arrived or have been wandering with me for a while, I’m so glad you’re here.

Wandering without rushing,
observing without judging,
discovering what others rush by.

Not really in search,
not really expecting,
yet always curious.

Finding awe
in the small,
in a door not quite closed,
in a silhouette not quite familiar.


Watercolour and words are my companions discovering the world,


Sharing my path encouraging you.
To look a little closer,
To open that door not quite locked,
to look at the world around you with the eyes of a child
a subtle invitation
TO PRACTICE PRESENCE
with me

Before you wander off…
This is not a site for fast scrolling through.
It is a place to slow down, look around, maybe even get a feeling of getting lost.

BUT,
remember,

sometimes one needs a little curiosity to enter
‘a door’
where new horizons will show
new perspectives

and maybe even
roads you discover you never knew about.

Please consider this site somewhat like life…
Not always how we want it,
but
always up to us

to stay curious
