Noordwijk painting festival

This week I am staying in the beach town of Noordwijk on the North Sea in Holland, and am participating in an outdoor painting festival with 75 artists. The rules of the festival dictate realism. (This will be a welcome break for some, including my cranky cat who apparently despises my abstract work.) We show our work collectively in a central location, and on sunday everything gets auctioned off. There are lots of nice people, and the town is beautiful, it will be fun. Time to get busy painting.
