Renegade tweeter (there at the birth), professional at something + contemporary painter. European. Liverpolitan married to the Dutch. Self-built our Rotterdam eco-house. The RadFems were right. Also jazz + cooking ♀️
I’m now watercolour sketching everything in the house, which to be honest could take a while 🤨 MIL’s rose vase on Moleskine.
Hunkered down under a code orange, will not get home for at least another 24 hours. Works by Joep Coppens on the window sill bottom of that shot. Parents-in-law were friends of the artist.
Currently stranded in Brabant due to snow, a head cold, and a sudden funeral. Should have spent this evening at a dinner party in The Hague. Obviously I am not there. Spent the day turning zoo sketches from a month back into small Moleskine paintings. Each to their own.
Another quick sketch from Saturday. Graphite on Moleskine, watercolour added later. Birch tree. Obviously.
From today’s walk in the woods (it was freezing cold) Graphite sketch on Moleskine, watercolour afterwards

I have 2 new slabs of Polaroid film in the cupboard I haven’t yet loaded up 🙄 Been too busy doing other things. Meanwhile, take this…… Photo of the week 🤨
The Biesbosch. Would have taken more photos but I was too busy cycling.
Out on the bike today. One of my favourite things about the Netherlands is you can start city to city by boat 😁
Dinner. I grew the chard, I grew the basil, and I grew one layer of cabbage that went in the pie 🥧😉 Red cabbage pie and it’s a good one. Link in next tweet.
Phil is a self confessed bottom feeder. Can’t quite see how he thinks he’s taking the high road here.
