It was a hot day yesterday - 48 degrees in the garden in the full sun - and fluffy Wilbur (star of my painting) was out sunbathing in his fur-coat.
'Ain't you hot, Fluffy?' says I.
'Puuuurrrrrr' says Wilbur very quietly (he is a very quiet purrer).
Today was cloudier and not so hot, and we went for a ride in the ol' Chevy up behind Bremm and out of the valley. There's a sign post I'd noticed before, directing the unwary to some Roman monument or another, and which I saw today is also the track to the Bremmer Kreuz - a cross up on the Calmont Slope. Now I wouldn't mind a little hike to the Bremmer Kreuz - I never knew how to get there before today - and with a cool morning and me pair of Good Boots there should be quite a view at the end of it.... I'll let you know.
For now, here's the view from the track before the car park.....
Nothing spectacular, photographically speaking, but you see that darker bit of slope in the background? That's where the River has worn the valley away into these huge meanders - the land above is mainly flat and ancient volcanic. There are wind generators and cows up here.....
Been working away with my painting - got more trees painted in and today I also started on the ironwork of the gate (? perhaps).
I had to put a bit more light on the tops of the pine-trees as they were blending in too much with the sky - and putting the detail in the ironwork is now starting to bring the background and foreground together....
Till Tomorrow...
Tschüss!
