A lovely, strange and surely wet day (in the start)

in Doesburg. Lovely because I maneged to paint two

paintings today, strange because I run into a field with

sheeps which many of them where attack by dogs so it

seemed and where bleeding to death at least 4 where

already dead,several others where injured, it was quiete

a slaughter I called the police and during my break I

discovered that two sheep had been put down by a veterinarian , ... 

While I biked back home in the afternoon some sheep's

still where bleeding and laying around, ... strange!
