Zippora Velp
Although I was tired, I decided to pop over to Velp late yesterday afternoon to have a look at the new Dorcas charity shop there. I don’t actually find their prices particularly cheap. On the plus side, all the proceeds go towards aid abroad, including Eastern Europe.
The question was how I was going to kill the rest of the time, as free travel only starts after 6.30 pm. Luckily, it was one of the ‘Velper Thursdays’. This meant a fair with stalls all over the village until 7.00 pm.
There wasn’t much to my taste, so after being kicked out of Dorcas almost as soon as I arrived, I just pottered about. The sun was shining and there was a strong wind. Here and there, people were running after parasols set up on the terraces.
This time, there was also a stall for Zippora Meijer’s shop and gallery. She gave me a tour and we had a lovely chat, exchanged experiences and looked closely at and discussed a number of her paintings.
It’s always nice to talk to artists and share experiences.
If it comes to me... I started something. A test with the Cobra student oilpaint mixable with water.
And to those interested in some photos of the Velper Thursdays here they are..

Я вижу небеса :)
I can see heaven :)
Я тоже это заметил и собирался оставить так, как есть. Синий цвет стал светлее только потому, что я добавил воды. Кстати, получился интересный результат. А на следующий день я разглядел что-то в облаках. Тор подошёл бы лучше, но у меня на уме этот толстый кот… Он бродит у меня в голове.
Хорошо, что это масляные краски — так у меня есть отличный повод нарисовать хоть немного перед тем, как уходить утром.
I saw it too and intended to keep it that way. The blue only became lighter because I added water. An interesting result by the way. And next I saw something in the clouds the next day. Thor would be better, but I have the fat cat in mind ... Strolling around in my brains.
It is a good thing it is oil paint since it is a great excuse to only paint a bit before I leave in the morning.
I don't know what exactly... But it was your cat that reminded me of the rabbit :)

не знаю чем именно... но это твой кот напомнил мне о кролике :)
Once killed and skinned, on a plate they look the same...
