Hello lovely, ⁣ I am so happy to share this pos

Hello lovely,
⁣
I am so happy to share this post with you!
⁣
A while ago I was thinking about how I could combine my love for spirit animals and the realistic portraits I’ve been making as these different interests made me feel a bit out of focus. (Also thank you @frankehollywood 🙏🏻)
⁣
And just as if the universe was listening, (yes I believe in that kinda stuff) I received a message from a photographer I used to work with back in my styling days. He asked if I could paint his little boy as a birthday gift to his girlfriend and maybe add an animal in the artwork too? Well, my heart jumped and skipped a beat. This was a dream come true.
⁣
And now dear you, I am truly excited to share this new concept with you. Let me paint you your child with his or hers spirit animal....
⁣
I will create a lovely highlight information sheet soon and ad it to my website as well....
⁣
Oh and this artwork right here? I received a message from the photographer that there were happy tears. Well, mission accomplished. There is no bigger compliment than that.
⁣
So, what spirit animal can I draw for you?

Portraying precious moments of motherhood are amon

Portraying precious moments of motherhood are amongst my favorite subjects to paint. It’s that moment where time completely melts away and there is only the two of you. It’s the smell, the warmth, the breath and for just a while everything is fine as it is. It’s when you realise that maybe one day, that little body might be to heavy to carry, but you will hold that little heart for a lifetime...

Great things never came from comfort zones... unless it’s a big hippy dress... that’s pure comfort and will do just fine in this hot weather to come. Oh dear, are you ready for the heat wave? I wish you a wonderful start of the week. Let’s warm our hearts with sunshine, shall we?

Happy father’s day! I hope you had a blessed day

Happy father’s day! I hope you had a blessed day spending time with the man your children call daddy. This morning I got to spend it with my kids and my forever-fiancé Robin, for whom I painted this portrait of our children Joshua and Ophelia. I was pretty nervous when I gave it to him. It was an interesting process painting my own children as I know their faces so well and it’s impossible to capture all their qualities in one piece. I also got to spend the rest of the day with the amazing man I get to call dad myself and my children call him ‘opa’. He also got his own version of this portrait. It’s funny how as a grown up woman you can sometimes still feel like a little girl when you show your drawing to your daddy. Today happy memories were made. Did you have a good day too?

It is my humble opinion that as an artist you have

It is my humble opinion that as an artist you haven’t really lived until you’ve drawn fat little baby penguin.

When it’s 25 degrees outside and you’re working on the start of a winter collection.... but hey, how can you resist a baby polar bear?
