I have more exciting news to share…

The Art Guide | Kunstgids Amsterdam is getting a special edition for one of Amsterdam’s most iconic hotels: the Amstel Hotel.

As of December, guests will find the guide in their rooms, which means my work will be there too.
Still feels a little surreal to say that!

I’m very curious to discover how many guests will see my paintings during their stay.
Maybe the only logical thing to do is book a room and experience it myself.

Stay tuned!

Just another Canva try-out, bringing one of my paintings to life…

This time, the lion looks like he’s just about to come charging out of the canvas and devour you! 😳
I think I’ll take a little step back… just to be safe.

Curious how the original painting looks like? Take a look at my webstite, link in bio

This is one of those moments when you realise: wow, this is actually happening!

The final design for my pages in the Art Guide | Kunstgids Amsterdam is coming together beautifully.
There’s something quite special about seeing your paintings presented in this way, and I can’t wait to share the result with you.

Which paintings made the cut?

You’ll have to wait just a little longer to find out…
Stay tuned!

I was absolutely flabbergasted when I discovered a (for me) new feature in Canva: bringing my painting to life! 🤩

I can’t stop watching it.

The elephant looks so incredibly lifelike, almost as if she could simply step right out of the canvas and walk away.

Curious to see the original painting?

There are some messages you have to read twice….
“…we would love to feature your work in the Art Guide | Kunstgids Amsterdam by publisher Fransastic.”

Wauw!

When you get the opportunity to present your work alongside pieces that are part of the collections of the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum, you feel incredibly honoured.
And that’s exactly how I feel: incredibly honoured!

… I’m still a little speechless.

The Art Guide will be published at the end of November. Follow along to see what the pages will look like.
Stay tuned!

The first layers are on. After quite a few days of drying, I was able to create the designs of the animals.

The background colours are carefully matched to the other wildelife paintings.

Can you already guess which animals I`m going to paint? Let me know in the comments.👇

The first layers of the art piece are being poured on the canvas. For me, everything starts with colour, only after that comes the animal.

Beige, ochre, a touch of blue. What you see now will mostly disappear under the next layers. But it still glows beneath.

This piece will be on display at the National Art Fair on November 14 and 15 in Gorinchem, The Netherlands. Want to follow along until it`s finished?

The preparations for the new paintings for the National Art Days have started.

That also includes things like cleaning the mixing cups, which I apparently didn`t put away very clean last time...

I just placed a fresh canvas on my easel. This will be the painting I`m creating especially for the National Art Days exhibition.

I`ve got the first sketch in my hands... but I`m not revealing what it is just yet. 😉
The first layers of color will go on this week.

Now I`m curious... what do you hope I`ll paint? Let me know in the comments! And don`t forget to follow along to see the final artwork come to life.

Can you help me choose which paintings I should exhibit at the National Art Fair?

It`s not easy to select the right paintings yet. There`s limited space in my booth and so many paintings to choose from.

Vote in the comments: which ones can`t be missing? You can also choose paintings from my website, link in bio. On November 14 and 15, you`ll see the results!
