I worked hard the whole day, so that I am very tired now. Yesterday I made the sketch of the castle on the canvas and today I painted the sky, the whole day long. I made the composition even more simple by leaving out the creel; the air is painted in the spirit of the , but much more stronger and sadder. I hope to show the people how beautiful, how profoundly poetical the castle .. ..please save this thumbnail-sketch and also my previous letter. Who knows the descendants - when reading them, and looking at the sketch - will say: Look, it was in this way how Bilder's very lovely painting was discussed at the House 't Velde, and how it came into life in Vorden. Good-by, my dear Lady.. . (en) |
