The little oil-painting titled 'Waiting for Máxima' (subtitle: Máxima is coming) is finally finished. I started the painting in 2011 and finished it this month. I had been too busy preparing paintings and drawings for the exhibition au Pouldu etc. In the meantime our princess has become Queen. The original  chain of office of mayor Bernt Schneiders has been stolen and Johan Remkes is now provincial governor to the King, not to Queen (now princess) Beatrix any more. I shall take some of the varnish off with oil of terpentine to make a tiny nose-change.
