"Daar waar hemel en Aarde samenkomen." Huissen, Holland.

"Daar waar hemel en Aarde samenkomen, daar dartelt de lente rond."

That was what I was thinking while painting this, this afternoon.

Free translated;
"Over there where the sky reaches the Earth there spring is jumping around."

This text is mainly from a song by the band "De Kift."

"Kan het nog grijzer?" Arnhem, Holland.

Trying to cut myself loose from those boats,...

The main down part of grey weather is the lack
off shadows, there is almost no visual contrast.

Ah well the temps are rising so somehow somewhere
spring is trying.

"Achter Hielkje." Arnhem, Holland.

Strange this the first time I couldn't come up
with a title, ...

The boat in the back is Hielkje I painted it before
and it feels a little like stalking, hehehe.

"Afgedekt." Huissen, Holland.

Finally some weather to get outside.
Not that it was complete spring with Sun and so on
but well worth to paint.
