Just outside the city center there is this park towards the river Lek. When you enter it you immediately see the park is actually a former bastion. In the middle there are the remnants of a once bigger castle Duurstede. It’s everything one can expect from a medieval castle. There’s a moat, a keep and a perfect preserved round Burgundian tower. Not the first time I’ve been there but the first time there wasn’t a lot of sunshine. As a discipline of the light I need the atmosphere around objects to be bright and dark.<br/><br/>Majestic Things<br/><br/>So there it was, the second time there was plenty of sun and for that matter also cast shadows. Next, let me tell you about a challenge each artist faces trying to capture majestic things. Buildings, trees, castles and what not can look very smallish if rendered with harsh contour delineations. The trick is to put them into context with surroundings. Therefor I didn’t fine detail the tower in order to keep it at some distance. By doing less I tried to make it appear to be larger, taking Monet’s message (Rouen series) to heart.<br/><br/>Hatched Strokes<br/><br/>Just as in the previous drawing of Veere I kept this one in my hatched strokes style. I experienced this suits me best to do landscapes and cities with. Especially in small format like A5 and A6 forms look not too small as explained in the previous paragraph. One could say these have become a style in their own right. Surely way different from all things cubist and surrealist I create as well.<br/><br/>Graphite pencil drawing (Pentel 0.5 mm, 3B) on Canson Bristol paper (10.5 x 14.8 x 0.1 cm – A6 format)<br/>Artist: Corné Akkers

_drunk-driver-pursuit-april-28-2024.webp "Skip to 01:50 for the start of the pursuit.<br/><br/>On the morning of April 28th, 2024, a sheriff's deputy in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana was dispatched to check on a person who was possibly intoxicated, standing by a vehicle. The deputy first located and followed an older vehicle fitting the description, but was advised that the vehicle in question was a newer model. Shortly thereafter the deputy located and attempted to stop a vehicle more closely fitting the description, but the driver did not stop. The driver turned eastbound onto Louisiana highway 4 and drove toward Franklin Parish at normal rates of speed, up to about 55 MPH (the speed limit), despite the deputy's emergency lights and siren. The pursuit continued for approximately 5 miles before the driver slowed and came to a stop, where he was taken into custody. Curiously, the deputy called for EMS to check the suspect out. After the suspect was cleared by EMS, he was taken to the jail. Curiously, a detective was called to the jail, and someone was taken by police car from the jail to the hospital. That person was at the hospital for over 3 hours before being taken back to the jail. It's unknown whether that was related or not.<br/><br/>Both deputies involved in this have been involved in multiple excessive force incidents, are both co-defendants in a civil rights lawsuit over a very severe excessive force incident, and are both known to be unreasonably violent with people. That is not to allege that they used excessive force on this person, but rather to say that they do have a documented history of doing so with others and that it is always a possibility. It's unknown why EMS was needed in this case. It's possible that the person may have been suffering from hypoglycemia or some other medical issue - I have actually heard reasonable-speed vehicle pursuits in the past where the suspect turned out to be diabetic and their blood sugar was dangerously low.<br/><br/>It is also unknown whether this in fact was the person and vehicle the call was about, or whether the deputy simply saw one that fit the description and decided to stop it for having an \")
