Thatched Roofs

Taking a day to chill at Ludiweg and Desiree’s place just outside of Amsterdam. I sat in the back yard and did a watercolor of their incredible house, while Desiree read a book in the hammock. I thoug ht that thatched roofs were a thing of the past…..not so! This is a modern remodel with a thatched roof in a neighborhood that is filled with them. I hear they have to be maintained annually.

Today I will be going into Amsterdam and getting back to oils. Transport is always an issue with them. I still haven’t figured out the right spacers to put between the wet panels…… Next trip.
