I have always wanted to be artistically incline or musical. I love both, but I guess I have to be happy with appreciating them because I am no good at them. I was wondering what your favourite artists are? I am a HUGE JW Waterhouse fan and one of the highlights of my museum going in the UK was to see The Lady of Shalot and other Waterhouse paintings in person. Your art always knocks me out.

You ARE real after all! LOL. I loved your "half-niqab" btw. I always knew you secretly loved them. Ha. I used to draw in public all of the time, but people would always stop to talk and I would never get anything done. I miss doing it. I keep telling my oldest girl that I'm going to take her out with her pastels for a mommy and daughter drawing day. I should do it before the snow falls here, thanks for giving me inspiration. I'd love to see a video of you while you are PAINTING. BTW, just LOVE your beautiful red hair. Of course, I'm biased. ;) I love it ! A video! You ARE real after all! LOL.

I am glad my friend made these videos of me :) You know, I don't notice most of the people looking over my shoulder! Now I see it on video I realise most people actually take a peek! They always make the same joke on this fair, since many years... ''Don't put me in it'' ''Are painting the horse or the man?'' ''He sould get paid for having his picture taken'' To the last one I always answer: ""He should pay me for the privilege of having his horse drawn'' There's a lot of laughter... Ah, you're more interested in the candy..... LAt, Actually it is very interesting to see yourself working! I am glad my friend made these videos of me :)

Every year, people from all over Europe flock to Zuidlaaren to sell and buy horses. When you go you should go very early in the morning, Before 07.00. And it is usually very cold so you should get all your winterstuff out and wear it in layers! I bring a fresh sketchbook and a couple of soft pencils (The soft pencils get a lot harder in the cold) The sketches I made will be posted at my Art Blog.
