Catch up

Since my last entry I had lunch with friends. This is Kayla. She thought this was the biggest crisp she had ever seen.
Who doesn't love a good argyle sweater?
This is Kayla's mother, Jenny. They both came into Haarlem from Delft for the day. We lunched and kayla got a pair of very silvery shiney shoes. I forgot to blog them. sorry.
It wasn't the best weather for an outing and when she dropped me off it turned really cold and began to snow.

I spent many days preparing a few new canvases and began the underpainting.

I headed out to the art store to pick up a new brush or two for my new canvases. Along the way was an "antiek winkel". I guess you could call the Spice Girls antiques. Thats the three big headed dolls to the upper left of Mary the mother of Jesus.
Sunday I was escorted to the British Classic Cars and Life Style Beurs. This beauty was in the parking lot.
but this one is more my size
I received birthday greetings and my fav Salt and Vinegar Crisps all the way from Australia. Thanks Nic and Vance! the card was lovely as well.
On the same day I received birthday greetings from Ian in the midlands of England. He sent me a smokey quartz crystal to add to my growing collection.
I spent today in my atelier working and listening to Theatre of the Mind podcasts. While on a quick break I saw this funny sticker. When will those silly squirrels learn to park their horses properly.

I just sent you an email to say you should update your blog! I check so often and I still missed this one! Or are you secretly updating your blog from the hairdresser? Hmm??

Those paintings-to-be already look cool. Please don't stempel them, pleeeeaaaase?

That drop-off picture is showcasing the Dutchest weather you'll ever see. It has it all. Shit weather, it looks wet, you know, that dampy wet like there's invisible fog and those grey tiles and winter trees.

I like your blog :-)

OMG! So many cool photos that I don't know what to comment on first! Gargoyle and silver shoes... next... Squirrels!! WTF?? But too funny. Salt and Vinegar: hope they didn't get too crushed in the package. FISHY FISHY FISHY! Are those two paintings or one in various stages of preparation? I do love the cool watery blues and the pretty goldfish orange with white and sometimes the koi have a spot of black. If it weren't so hot here in the summer, I'd have a pond with them. Spice Girls - Leuk! And the crystal is nice, it's not a stuffed toy. Good times Jerry, good times.

Okay, I just noticed it said "canvases" (plural) and I played spot the difference and it IS two different paintings. How lovely!
