"Thialf Iceskating." Arnhem Holland.

After a lovely but silent morning yesterday, I thought
it would be nice to have some people around me as well
on my painting, so up to the Skating Track.

It was quite difficult to find but now I did I definitely
going to return, they are even open in the evening, ...
can't wait to paint then!

I painted this tree last winter also, ---> overthere

Still cold but heartwarming beautiful.

Still cold, indeed but much to beautiful to stay
indoors. Tucked up real thick especially your feet
and not going too far from a pub or other possible
hot chocolate it's a real treat to practice all those
blueish grey tonals, especially when the sun is interfering
than all becomes soooooo awesome, ...

COLD! Arnhem, Holland.

This could well be the coldest painting of this year,
standing in the middle of a bridge over the Rhine looking
at Arnhem for two hours, ...

Thought it would be more white though, so with a little luck
I can give it a go, ... another time.

First some chocolate, ... WARM!
