This is no. 2 in the series 'rise and fall of the rhododendron';-) Including two free ladybirds who happen to have landed just in time to enter today's painting.
This is Emmy, Emmy was still almost a kitten when she past away. Although she only lived for one year she had a turbulent life with lots of accidents and misfortune. Luckily she had one big light in her life and that was Annemarie. She took real good care of Emmy and nursed her in the best way possible. These two girls were such close friends.
Boety is the most loyal friend of Corneel, I guess you can see that in his portret also. Because Boety is a new friend after a hugely missed other dogfriend by Corneel she decided to receive a letter by him through Ineke van Lier. Ineke has the amazing gift to tune in to an animal (even if he is no longer in our world) and catch his or her words. Every animal has his own message and tone of voice. To make this energy visible I painted Boety's portret for Corneel. Now Corneel feels Boety's friendship even more close.
How fortunate that we can use our talents for both the animal and humans in this way!
This is part of the wall of a special friend and worldtraveler Terri. We have India as a mutual love among other things. So how about a nice cup of chai.
We had to take a quick detour to France to bring some of my paintings there. I am so pleased to been asked to exhibit some of my work, big and small, in the center of Paris. More details will follow soon on my exhibit page. Unfortunately we can't stay till the vernissage at May 15 so we will return for the finnisage. But if you are in Paris for the next three weeks do try to visit Chromatics at Espace Beaurepaire.
To transport my big paintings for a new exhibition in the Hague we wanted to hire a trailer. So we did. In a store where they not only had trailers but also an impressive amount of washingmachines. But the most remarkable where the huge fishtanks with only a few fish in them. Now that's something different then a dull fishbowl, these lucky fish can really go for a swim.

Yes!, the first daily-happy-mini-mail-project by lies goemans is completed. The second too:-)For two years in a row i've been painting a miniature 5x5 cm (2"x 2"inch) daily on this spot. It has been a tribute to lisette goemans and all other people battling a difficult struggle. The first year was not for sale and is now one big artwork of 365 miniature wonderments in paint.
and now?
i started a third new serie of 365 happy-mini-mail, again 5x5 cm (2x2" inch) and you can againbuy the paintings a day, first come first served!
