Skûtsjesilen (pronounced "skoo-jee-zee-lin")
is a race between 14 traditional sailing ships; it is held in the north of Holland
(in the province of Friesland),
at the end of July/ beginning of August.
This race attracts thousands of visitors each year.
This is an other oil impasto.
Since an oil impasto would take up to a year to dry, I first used a modeling paste
to texturize the canvas.
Then I painted this oil with big rough bristles (dry brushing technique)
and lots of different palette knives.

Olga, you know what I'm thinking....I can'nt wait till I can afford to collect you-------CubbyFrank Maguire 28 Jul 2008
Dear Olga, some few pints of van Goghs blood must have sneaked [leaked] back along the bloodlines into your body and mind that you can paint like this and you didn't even have to hold your hand over a flaming candle. Does Fred know that he is married to a painting genius or does he just think you make good coffee? This is such a wonderful painting, such color and illumination, movement and sex..... there is always sex. Who can escape it? Who would want to? Luv and Laffs. Frank.joan warburton 28 Jul 2008

Another Olga's jewel. This painting looks full of color, light and joy. I'm just working on the opposite ("Costa da Morte", you know). Good morning, dear friend. What about the red shoe? If it's made of Murano... perhaps you're Cinderella, who knows?:-) LOL!
