Today I’m invited in the neighbourhood to the administrator of the woods I use to walk in. It’s fascinating, usually he speaks about all the places I know, and he tells me all the secrets about them. And tomorrow I’m too scared to go there again. Daily Painting about the wood

Today is Corpus Christi and in the church next door was a huge procession with hundreds of people, marching band, several priests and billows of incense. But as a real Eifel procession it was totally anarchic and everybody went where he liked and prayed what he liked and sang what he liked. Or he chatted. Daily Painting about processions

What a day: first a Schirmer Workshop in the academy, high up on the tower watercolouring in the sun and then I come back to hear that I sold a picture on the Bristol Affordable Art Fair. Because it’s a painting with cats I celebrate it with a Daily Painting about cats not getting grey at night
