Painting in Nijmegen, Holland.

One thing I have to remember!
That it is most likely the ferry is out of order during high tide!!
It saved a bike trip of at least 12 km. (10.0000 ml or so)

Anyway it was high tide, ... and is such a impressive sight each time,
not that the water is deep tho, (I was standing in the water during this session)
but it expand soo enormous, just awesome.

"Yellow!" Arnhem, Holland.

Yellow (Geel in Dutch) was all there was to see
when I started to paint this famous bridge of Arnhem.
As I mentioned before it's tricky painting fog, before
you know you add more and more and realize in the
end you painted all the fog away, ...

"Geel." Arnhem, Holland.
(Yellow.)  Oil on panel.

After that I got on the building site where they build a new shoreline
of the Rhine. The builders where very busy packing everything up
that's because they forecast extreme high tide this ,Monday, ...
I knew then what I will paint Monday!

Painting in Kampen, Holland.

Although it's quiet a trip it's well worth making it!
Kampen is a lovely ancient city with at least three HUGE city
entrances. Tried to paint one of them, and the local market.
Every once and awhile a market man came down the stairs
to have a pee, ... in the end I just painted one of them, it does
gives a nice extra item I thought.
