Clingendael – 2019-04-24

Wednesday (daytime) is my ‘day off’. Teaching art class is due in the evening and I have lots of time to go outdoors now spring has arrived. Estate ‘Clingendael’ is just around the corner to where I live here in The Hague and there i saw two swans swimming by. I immediately took a picture of the couple and next I drew the pond and trees on the spot roughly. I only had to erase the swams back later. When I look at the white bridge it reminds me to Claude Monet’s pond and bridge at Giverny, France.
