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.
Sneezer meditating in the sun.
I spent many days preparing a few new canvases and began the underpainting.
warm fish cold fish
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.

My new temporary atelier. That's your fish painting hanging out in the back. 
The light is fantastic mostly because of the sky light. It opens for extra ventilation, but this little space also has a fan to suck out the air.
This is the main space, this is not for my use.
It's just a quick trip up the stairs.
All the necessary tools.
Back at the ranch, sneezer seems to have everything under control.
Apparently, from the look on Jack's face, this is an embarrassing photo.

Busy the entire day in my atelier. I can stay until the end of June then the building becomes yet another office building. Tragic
It is a small space, but it's a happy space. I will miss it dearly.
