Amsterdam’s record-breaking heatwave may have scarred me for life. Now I wake every morning and kiss my hoodie. When I see that the temperature is 60, I throw open the windows and yell “Hallelujah! No sweat today!”
Despite memories of heat I wouldn’t want to endure again, I
do otherwise hold much fondness for Amsterdam. The waterbrush I used for this
sketch still contains saltwater from the Oosterdok waterway near the NEMO Science
Museum, and it was fun to sketch the rest of my time in Holland with that water.
When I embed the “DNA” of a location into my sketchbook, the place stays with
me in more ways than one.

Good that you had Greg to reach down to get the water. His arms are longer. lol Yes, it is nice to be someplace where I'm not sweltering and having a waterfall of sweat running down my body. The breeze does feel good!!!
