25x20cm, oil on canvas
(private collection, Ekeren)
After a very rainy spring, the sun finally came out in Belgium so I brought my paints to the Lambertmontmartre outdoor art market on Sunday. The event was exceptionally held on the Groenplaats, where there is a nice view of the Cathedral.
There were crowds of passers-by given the sunny three-day weekend but the sun and wind was challenging for exhibitors without parasols and weights. What a pleasant surprise when my still-wet oil painting sold right there on the spot!
Here's an oil sketch showing some of the atmosphere on the square:

Earlier this month, I attended an urban sketching event at the MAS museum. Here's the quick sketch I painted between rain showers -- the pink billboard advertises a nearby seafood restaurant:
