Marlot - 11-04-20

Last year this time around Spring I started a series of small graphite pencil landscapes, one per day. I finished my last Bettie Page painting some time ago, started a new project ( Frida Kahlo), the Corona crises came apparent and my art teachings came to a sudden end. Crash-bang-wallop!

Tine for a break because hitherto every day seems like the other. Now I feel what the retired must feel like. To give me an excuse to break out of my apartment (we are in an intelligent lock-down situation in The Netherlands), I set off on a daily bicycle tour to various parks and sceneries here in The Hague. One of them is an intimate little park called ‘Marlot’ where I drew a couple of years back. There are lots of rhododendrons lingering about, just as the brooks do throughout the whole park.

The recipe for a successful drawing was eminent: trees unfolding their leafs, water reflections and what have you not. Tomorrow I will return to two urgent matters: my quarterly VAT return (bleh!) and return to Frida again because she is looking blike eaten with an ugly stick. Better improve her ressemblance.
