The "slikken van Flakkee" is a piece of nature on the Dutch isle of Goeree-Overflakkee. It is a wetland where "heckrunderen" (some kind of wild oxes) walk around. So you'll understand why I didn't do a plein-air (cheap excuses, I know).
When you look closely you'll notice I added grass to my painting again.

Indeed a weak excuse, hehehe
Those cows are sooo friendly you almost can cuddle them.
I like the adding you did, to combine is good!!
I did notice the grasses! I love the atmosphere and the textures.
Thanks René, they look frightening isn't that enough?
Thanks Elizabeth. Adding (dry)grass is a very simple way to get a nice texture.
This is really nice Dick - I could see this one even larger too... I like seeing the way you handled the color to suggest such a moving atmosphere...
I was looking at a gallery online today and came across and artist I thought you'd might want to take a peak at... I am going out to gallery hop now, to get some inspiration - take care,

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the link.
Good luck with your gallery hop.
wow,this is great!
i like the colors and the atmosphere...and all of it.
Thanks Sophie!
I saw a Plein Air video last night where the artist had to keep an eye out for alligators while he painted.
Having to fear for one's life while painting looks like a pretty substantial distraction!
This is a beautiful painting whether it was painted on location or not.
