In Sweden, spring is apparently later than in the Netherlands, when I was recently back in the Netherlands, it was just summer. At least that's how it felt. But gradually it's getting greener and greener here too. Today this rapeseed field was finally blooming and of course I couldn't resist.
Parked the bus, packed my things and while I was putting up the canvas, a moose was watching the whole ritual in the distance. The king of the forest put a smile on my face. What beautiful animals they continue to fascinate me time and time again...
Humming softly I go to work, the wind is not too intense and the sun is very welcome. Suddenly a car comes along, for a moment I was afraid it would be an angry farmer. I'm standing neatly on a path, but well, I think it's on his property. The opposite was true, Pelle came out of his car with a broad smile on his face, he had never seen a painter in the "Wild" before...
A nice conversation followed and I was given a rapeseed flower...
