Loosely based on a black and white photograph from our local archive, which has recently been made available online, and which my watercolour group is using as inspiration for a series of paintings. This scene was originally shot more than thirty years ago in the small commercial port where the barges used to come and unload – and the skippers’ wives had time to do a bit of washing in between trips, rain or shine. Watercolour on Canson Moulin du Roy NOT 300gsm, 25x35cm. Original photograph courtesy of Archief Eemland/Amersfoortse Courant.
