Being outside is the best recreation! (besides painting and drawing, of course) I get so much energy and serenity being among green grass, rustling trees and the sound of the birds singing and chirping. And when we bring with us the cooker for some simple food and coffee, the day is complete. I imagine these…

This boat does not float. it's simply going nowhere. It's stuck in shallow water, trying to get out. And when the tide comes in, the way out will appear. https://youtu.be/532AtAiUa18
To break up the series of digital paintings I've been caught up in lately, I decided to have a go at a marker drawing again. There's not much new here, with main elements like mountains, cabins, fence posts and people. All of my favourites, summed up 🙂 Anyway, I hope you like the drawing, and…

Another one of these sketches/paintings I've been working on lately. In this one I decided to go with some different colours, adding more of the greens and the blues: I think the boat ended up looking quite nice, but a bit more tight than I wanted to. Déjà vu writing that again.... Anyway, I hope…

A little sketch to free the mind. A lot of air. A lot of time. A lot of silence.
This is a day for relaxing. No visits. No chores. All of that can wait till tomorrow. You let out all the stress, and fill up on energy and calmness.
I really like the look of tugboats! They just look so robust, and ready to do the work. Always with a few scratches, or some stains of fuel. But you just get the feeling that they can go on forever, until they physically fall apart. Something to rely on, from the good old days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4PPTDLp2kg
I imagine this is a cruise. But quite a different type of cruise. The food may not be standard. Nor the entertainment. The cabins may not be top standard. And the captain may not wear a tight uniform. But I'm sure they're having a good time. Doing some smooth sailing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hhhkP6deGU
