Couldn't find out anything about the history of the Stohlgang, except that it involves drinking and chairs - so I'll have to leave that one until I'm a bit wiser....
The weather was much better for the Fest today anyway - you wouldn't want to be sitting outside somebody's front door, in the pouring rain, in your favourite deckchair, schnapps or no schnapps.... That's for sure.
We spent a sunny half an hour by Siegfried's BierWagen instead with a cold glass of Bitburger - we watched Frau D collecting something from a nearby tree - which turned out to be hazelnuts. She gave us a few which I put into my pocket, then when we left we had a look ourselves and picked up a few more. There are lots of walnut trees here, but this is the first time we have noticed the hazelnut tree.
Back at the house, Wilbur (the fluffy star of my latest painting) had a good old sniff - Wilburs and hazelnuts.....
Ahhhhhh - I figured out that spacing from the centre out!
Anyhow after the collision of worlds which are Wilbur and Hazelnuts, I got working on my new painting again.... I printed out the layout on a clear film, flipped it over, went over the lines with a 6B pencil, flipped it back then taped it to a lovely brand new acrylic board and traced it out....
Just the important lines, because the great thing with acrylic paints is that you can paint over them Again and Again - I'm keen now to get some painting started, but the finer detail can be added much later - you don't have to think of everything all at once which can be helpful at times. So tomorrow I should be ready to get out my paints, find out my brushes (I got some new ones a short time back) and start putting in a bit of colour.....
Till then,
Tschuss.
