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.

First nocturnal of this winter (I think)

Yesterday evening "Plein Eire" held a ROUND THREE - Nocturnes

I thought I'll join them although stayed in Holland.

Went to my local ice skating track, I knew those guys where ice skating

but did expect that the light was orange/yellow and that the ice skaters

where thát good. (Good ice skaters are hard to paint!) Anyway with

a little torch a premixed as much I could and kept going.

It's lovely winter here at the moment, cold but that's good for the

snow! Made this one earlier on the day, but my paint was freezing

up because it was outside the whole day, ... you can see what

happens when it's a bit too cold and snowy.

Gives a nice extra though.

"Cold start." Westervoort, Holland.

It's December and what a start it has been, ... very cold!

Not that the temps where that low, but together wind the

wind it's feels awful. I manege to find a spot close at home

in the sun out of the wind, ... that worked well!
