Today you are viewing a work made sometime ago, coming from my Dry Paintings from The Lowlands project. Am lucky to have such a picturesque scene, just blocks away from where I live. For me, the people sitting enjoying a brew and taking in the sun are what makes this scene attractive.
Have been suffering from a skin inflection called St. Anthony's Fire, (wond roos in Dutch) which I caught three years ago, and am now having a recurrence of it! Thus have been in no condition to go out painting since last week.
