Tante Jo, Lievelde.

 

My aunt, Jo Jaartsveld, was living in Lievelde (Achterhoek). But she passed away last February. Last Saturday my mother and I visited her house for the last time, to pick up some souvenirs. And we visited my aunt Coby in Winterswijk (age 99).

I bought a new type of sketchbook, a Moleskine size portrait A5. I tested the booklet by drawing her portrait, after a photograph we made last year, when my aunt was still well. The white line in the middle is the spine of the sketchbook. Moleskine A5 and a Duke Confucius fude-fountain pen.

Brunssummerheide: another tree

 

Brunssummerheide: a tree

Yesterday afternoon, an old tree on the Brunssummerheide. Drawn with a Lamy Joy Calligraphy fountain pen.

Ridderkerk, another boat

 

This probably the last of the Ridderkerk Harbour drawings. My businesstrips to one of the firms in the area are finished. This is the last one of my (belated) lunchbreak drawings. After a three hour drive, we usually had meetings without a break between 11 and 3 o'clock. After that I took a one hour lunchbreak at the harbour and make these drawings, before heading my way back south.

In this one the fountain pen (a Hero fude fountainpen) ran out of ink halfway, I had to finish it at home.

Beek (ZL) Hubertusmolen

 

Coming back from the dentist, I took a sketching lunchbreak. Drawing the Hubertus molen along the road between Beek and Schimmert.
