Wilgengebroed

Quick drawing of the Dutch polder after a good summer rain storm on my way to my parents. Love the simple dark but bright colours, so I kept it simple.

Whilst sitting and waiting on a very busy museum sunday. The kids wondering of and coming back doing science projects all afternoon at the “science festival” I had this magnificent view on the Amstel and Amsteram

Spending a very relaxing evening… “met mintnopjes’ can really keep this up for hours, blogging, reading, watching, drawing, tweeting, … on the couch with my favorite screens..

Went to the local memorial today.. May 4th 2009. Just to be silent with others. Watching listening always feels special.

Lazy sunday.. been drawing in the sun in Amsterdam.. sun on my face.. finishing and posting with the mac on my lap also in the sun.. on the couch. Love these days of nothing and sun in my moleskine.

One of the things I love about Amsterdam.. when the sun is out people come out to relax and enjoy.. sitting, drinking, talking. On the tiniest pieces of grass wherever available. Air filled with city sounds and light happy chatter.

Normal day.. normal view from the car n the Keizersgracht.. attention drawn by a lonely bike on the bridge normally swamped with bikes..

What I like best in early spring.. the soft green veil on what where barren branches only days before. Warm sunlight drawing people out of their houses to near the edge of the water.

Just sitting there made me wonder.. who thinks up all these rooms..

Omdat ik toch op de krullen toer ben, deze krul kwam ik tegen aan het hoge plafond in een van de zalen in the National Gallery in Dublin. Kon het niet laten.
