Cement-factory Huissen, Holland.

It's much too windy to setup my hole gear and paint, ..
so I tried a little watercolor, sheltered by a little building
just at the junction between the Rhine and IJssel here by my hometown.

I like watercolor, but I have so much to learn about it, and my setup for watercolor isn't that good either, ... but if you don't try, you don't learn!

It was a dreadful day today, drizzle and rain the whole day.
Lucky me, .. I had an appointment with my dentist (two holes btw.)
And I starting to run out of boards, so a good day to stay inside and prepare for
the oncoming spring and summer.

I notice this older painting and when I looked it up on my pc. I discovered
that I never placed it, I think that was because of the poor photos I could
took then, ... with my new camera it's much better so here you go.

Doesburg revisited, ... again.

Again Doesburg, ... the first time I went there
I thought what a picturesque village this is, ...

I don't like picturesque scenes, they are hard to paint.
usually you'll get just an picturesque painting of a picturesque scene.
But now that I am visited Doesburg more often I kind to get fond of
those picturesque scenes, .. it give me a feeling of being part of something
bigger, ... something much older then life.

"De Kerkwachters." Holland.

It's becoming spring somewhat, here and there you see snowdrops and Crocuses.
I find it hard to find a intimate scene here, I miss the sun, the leaves and
the Sun playing with shadows, ....

While cleaning up my studio this weekend I run into this

btw. my studio still isn't up and running yet, way toooo much
garbage.
