Some new pastel drawings I had not posted on the website yet. The snow kitten was intended for our Christmas card, but in the end I used another drawing for that. The kitten with flowers was a commission. Although I try to do some other animals now and then, I …
After all the pastel drawings, it was time for another one with colored pencil on suede carton: A cute Sheltie pup. The camera has also been on a few trips lately. First to a wildlife park in Isselburg, Germany. The new fox, wolf, and wild cat photos were made there. Yesterday …
Last Sunday evening it finally worked out. I had a fun workshop night photography with Rutger Bus. At earlier attempts, including one in the US, the weather did not cooperate, but now it was fairly clear. With a small group of people we went to the Aekingerzand near Appelscha, one …
