Today I decided to start on an art piece for the nursery that I've been mulling over for awhile now (snow day = free art time!) I have a 3 pane window and I am going to paint 3 sections and mount them on the back of the window to show through the panes.
The settlement of Heusden on the river Meuse (Maas) started with the construction of a fortification to replace the castle destroyed by the Duke of Brabant in 1202. This fortification was quickly expanded with water works and a donjon (castle keep). The city of Heusden received city rights in 1318. Heusden's castle had belonged to successive dukes of Brabant; in 1357 it passed into the hands of the counts of Holland. At the beginning of the Eighty Years War (1568-1648), Heusden was occupied by the Spanish. In 1577, however, following the Pacification of Ghent, the people of Heusden allied with William, Prince of Orange. William consolidated the town's strategic position near the river Meuse, and ordered fortification works to be constructed. Work started in 1579 with the digging of moats and the construction of bastions, walls, and ravelins, and was completed in 1597. These constructions are what gioves Heusden (and other towns like Naarden) their distinctive view from above !

I didn't see this shot for several years; it was a misfire of the camera (a Minolta Dimage) and I realized I liked it and thought maybe a little work in Photoshop would bring out the shadows of the tools on the workbench.

Quick & Flupke (Quick et Flupke in French and Kwik en Flupke in Dutch) is a comic book series by Hergé (famous for The Adventures of Tintin) about two street urchins in Brussels named Quick and Flupke. The two boys unintentionally cause trouble, leading to annoyance with their parents and the police.

Home late tonight, not much time for cooking... This is sort of international: olives are from Spain, cocktail sausages from Germany, there are also French pickles, salt I used in the eggs is from Ukraine... The rest is American :)

One of the most fun things at this festival is a competition called the "Quick & Daring Race", entrants to which have to build a boat with limited materials and time, and then sail/row/cajole it round a small course.
