Queensday (and night)

It's been a while since I last posted! In the meantime some very exciting things happened, so I've got a lot to tell you guys! First of all I downloaded some very inspiring music from Billie Holiday, which inspired me for some new artwork. First I made a really awesome sketch of her with just my water paint pencils , which turned out really really great! Then I decided to create a painting which was based upon this sketch. In this painting I added some musical notes and just a tiny bit of colour. The painting turned out pretty good too, but I still like my sketches better. I will post some pictures of my sketch and painting soon, so you guys can decide for yourselves!
The seccond thing I wanted to tell you was my adventure at queensnight. Queens night is the night before queensday and in this night the whole city of Utrecht is transformed in a giant party! We started at the birthday of Raisa (HAPPY B-DAY DEAR RAISA!!!(again)) who turned 18. The entire cellar was filled with people -and hell yeah, it's a big one- and the party was already getting started! I was smart enough to arrange a place in Utrecht where I could sleep that night and we all started our journey to the centre of Utrecht. Then there were about 7 hours of partying, involving: silly hats, bad 80's music, lots of friends, lots of vodka and lots of cigarettes. All and all it was a great party! The next morning wasn't so great though. Since I had a lot of vodka and I hadn't had a whole lot of sleep, I had a giant hangover. But after an awesome pancake breakfast I was feeling a lot better. We spent the rest of the day browsing through all the stands and listening to several bands who performed throughout the city. But when our favourite band of the day started, the police made an anouncemend about an attack on our queen, and that the rest of the festivities were canceled out of respect for the families of which family members had died. After that announcement we decided to have a gathering in the lepelenburgpark to party on over there! This was quite fun and we had a great afternoon. I had dinner at Timo's house which was nice and went home at about half past 10.
Overall it has been a great week, but next week I really got to focus on my final exams! I've got a lot to learn!

I will post some pictures of my sketch and painting soon!
