Diomedeweg, area Oostburg, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, The Netherlands
The light falls gently on the fields near the Diomedeweg in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Joop van Egmond (MOND) made a large series of watercolors on location around Oostburg. In 941, Oostburg was first mentioned as Castrum Osburch. Oostburg received city rights from the Count of Flanders in 1237. Oostburg was located on a branch of the Zwin, to which the name Oude Haven still bears witness. Presumably there was even a ferry on Walcheren. This work of art comes with a BARTH 1828 aluminum interchangeable frame and is protected behind glass. Note: Photographing watercolors is very difficult. It looks like the paper is extremely bulging, but in reality this is barely visible to the naked eye.
