I gave up.

First time I really had to give up, ... it was soo cold!

I loved the two little boats though lying beside each other,
they made me think of twins. But I didn't got the shape
right and it was getting harder and harder to get the scape
right and Sharp. Ah well, tomorrow a new day!

To show somewhat of the coldness I made a photo
of a leaking water-hose just beside me where I was painting.

I'll guess water is also aware of windchill, ...



IJskoud!
(Freezing cold.)

"Langs Overhagen." Velp, Holland.

Didn't thought I was able to paint today.
For one I had some businesses at home, and
for second it was sooo cold today, ...

But I did maneged to get out and found this little spot,
quiet please with it.

"Boswerk." Velp, Holland.

Sometimes you just hit a jackpot, ... today I did!
A whole bunch of people where working in the woods
cutting down trees and sawing them in small blocks

One part was a fire-brigade practicing.
Lovely professional with their orange uniforms.
The other part where locals cutting wood for their
fireplaces. Daan the boy with the axes was so kind
to stand model for a few minutes so he's my hero of
the day!

Daan thank you so much!

"Tussen wal en Misti." Arnhem, Holland.

One thing I dislike even more then rain, ...
are the Internet rain radar sites. They forecast
dry weather, but when starting to paint, guess what?!

Anyway, I couldn't turn my back on this old little
boat, laying between a huge barge and the stage.

Yesterdays effort, Holland.

Not much time, so just the upload.

It was a heavy one though, lots of same values,
took me quiet some time to finished.

Missed them!

The plan was to meet up with Leida Blom and Silvester in Zutphen
but I guess I made a mistake inputting their mobile numbers
so we missed each other, ...
I did however had a lovely day with sun, and off course lots
of time to paint now, hehehe.

Leida & Sil, ... to bad but I think we'll meet someday anyhow.

Bridge-painting #, ... I don't know.

Don't know what it is, but I seem to paint a lot from
bridges lately. Think I like the view, and of course
staying on top of things, hehehe.

Just kidding, I'll guess it give me a feeling of distance
and it also remembers me of Wales, ... somewhere.
