Schacht Nulland

 

An afternoon sketching outside again. One of the few remaining artifacts of the former coal mining industry in our region. One of the ventilation shafts and elevator shafts of teh Domaniale Mijn in Kerkrade.

Yoda

 

This is Yoda, our new cat. Mitzie passed away last April. My wife told it in her class at school, and one of her pupils had a kitten available. Yoda didn't have a good start in life, he was abandoned by his mother after his birth, and taken care of by the mother of the boy.

Well Yoda is full of life, and we enjoy her every day. We hope to enjoy him for a long time.

Chambord

 

Forgot to post this drawing: the castle of Chambord. Also made during our French holiday.

Chenonceau

 

Castle of Chenonceau , at the Loire, France. It was raining all day, I had to make a very quick sketch, protecting parts of the drawing with sheets of paper against the loose raindrops. Painted it at the camping site.
