Spring is in the air

Today was a beautiful day with lots of sun!! This afternoon we (Cor and I) went for a walk with the dog along a canal near my village and this is what we saw .....

..... a blue sky reflected in the canal (Noord-Willemskanaal) near Oudemolen;

we counted 11 Deer (actually fawn) enjoying the sun and eating some green grass; 

a buzzard sitting on a pole. These photos are taken with a 12x optical zoom but the buzzard was still very far away. 


And now I'm going to try and work on one of my creative projects. I have 3 projects that I'm working on at the moment.


1. Mermaid painting: 

2. Angel: 

Building up layers around the angel and dove.
I started this one a long time ago when I was in Suzi Blu's workshop Angels, but I never finished it. I decided last week to give it another try.


3. Drawing unicorns for Natalie's workshop Woman and their Unicorn:

Last week we learned how to make a frontal unicorn head and the one on the left is my first try. Haven't finished the shading yet!


PS Yesterday we went laser gaming with my son, 2 friends, Cor and I. It was still for my son's 17th birthday earlier this month. It was my first time ever and although I wasn't sure upfront of liking the game I thought it was lots of fun. The first game I even was the number one scorer!! And the second and last game I came in second. Today however I feel every muscle in my body aching and I also discovered lots of bruises on my arms and legs. But ... it was still fun!!
