Terrible to hear of the wolf Nickoli...Unfortunately those type of gunmen are everywhere...a breed that should be extinct (the gunmen that is :/ )

Crikey Nik a wolf that's terrible for someone to shoot it !

But I have to say I was nervous to go too far in the woods alone, not just cos of wild boar and wolves, deer, etc but also because I would be afraid I would lose the path and never be seen again lol.

Louise – I always buy these canvases: http://www.petersart-shop.de/bespannte-rahmen/bespannte-holzrahmen/...

They are from cotton. For example, a 40x50cm costs € 5,12

These are the the two price categories for the Van Gogh oils:

price group II: http://www.petersart-shop.de/farben/oelfarben/van-gogh-l-200ml-tale...

price group I: http://www.petersart-shop.de/farben/oelfarben/royal-talens/van-gogh...

This brand is also not bad, if you want to paint with a bold brush or knife: http://www.petersart-shop.de/farben/oelfarben/lukas-studio-oelfarbe...

it was a bit a nightmare in matera with that old farmer admiral wife and 10 days of storm and rain -

greetings marko

Hopefully, we get good weather in Altthymen, Marko, although we really had only one cold wet day last year. But, I'm sure we'll all enjoy it anyway. Sorry to hear that your Italian trip was less than perfect.
