It’s vacation time, so it’s three weeks since my last painting trip. I thought the birds should had stopped singing by now, but a blackbird welcomed me as I parked my bike in the woods.
This summer has been just as abnormal as the spring and winter. There has hardly been any rain, so the tarn is drying up.

So for me though, it’s therefore quite comfortable to paint in the woods, nearby a tarn, in twenty-five centigrades or more.
At first I lay in the mirroring beneath the leaves and lilies.
Then the granite, which I have become more and more familiar with.
In the end the greens…
