Not easy to make a nice painting when you had
a day's work laying under your car with a angle grinder.

But I visit my friend/colleague Eric who has moved his ship
at the end of the new build stage here in Arnhem, so a new scene
and a great way to end the day.

Turning a Morris into art, ... Holland.

First my painting of today, and man do I feel lucky that I
could paint! Started today with cutting out all the rusty
bits in my Morris, but after 4 hours of looking and cutting
I really had to paint, ...

"Panoven." Oud Zevenaar, Holland.
(Panoven.) Oil on panel.
24 x 30 cm.

Here some photos I shoot from the underside of my Morris,
I think it's almost art, ... what do you think?







Help!

Morris mantainance, ....

Discovered that my Morris has developed all kind of rust holes, ..
so been busy to repair them, and paint along the way.
It's grey out here at least yesterday, but they forecast  some sun later this week!

This was a funny painting, in the back you can see "De Posbank" a hill made
during the last ice age. During this session it rained very mildly and you really
can see the landscape change into one grey soup, after that the colors return
slowly, ... what a sight!

"Alles word grijs." Lathum, Holland.
(Everything turns grey.) Oil on panel.
24 x 30 cm.
