In the last couple of weeks, every kind of weather has come our way; snow, rain, wind sun, cold and even quiet gentle warmth; it has been a little varied. So it is time to travel again. Today is Budapest and a short tale at my expense. 

We loved this ancient city and learned such a great deal about of its culture; however one morning Liz wanted the nice touristy bit, so we walked across the city to its magnificent cathedral. In front of this splendid building is a grand square, surrounded by very posh shops, coffee establishments and places to spend a great deal; of money. Understandably I wanted to paint , So after much searching we came to the conclusion the the Subway quick food cafe offered the best view. We did enjoy a Fanta bottle of pop there as I drew the above. Maybe I should have painted from one of the rand coffee shops?You know I think that there is still a need for forgiveness for that one. Liz certainly reminds me of that on occasion.

Now the boat sculptures are ongoing, above is one of many layers of PVA  glue drying. As this happens, I heat it up with an industrial paint stripper, until it boils and slowly push it into the wave shapes using tweezers, spatulas and an assortment of cast off dental tools. Good ventilation is essential and great care constantly as to the risk of fire, but with care the process works. The above is only the beginning, it is ongoing. See you all soon.
