Elsmeren Belgium

De Heerlijckheit in Elsmeren Belgium is a lovely estate with as a extra this extraordinary Chestnuttree with its mirror image in the water. I actualy painted this with the rain dizzling on my shoulders but me and the watercolour were able to hold the space long enough to have it finished.

When is a watercolour finished anyway; do not finish it as you just might have finished it off, you just stop in interesting places. I used a watery technique, alternating wet on wet with colours as they came from the box to enhance the picture.
