Apple blossom what a joy!

This year all of my favorite models seem to blossom at the same time. The blossoms of course but also magnolia, rhododendron, ranunculus, anemone, tulips and I spotted the peony too. Keeps me busy and I like it.

I am painting a larger apple blossom and made a small one on the side for you to blossom away this week.

P.s if you are interested, I will put the bigger painting 

on Facebook and INSTAGRAM soon.

This weekend was bird-counting-day in the Netherlands.

I must admit I did not count any of them, but I am fond of looking at birds all the time. 

Some time ago I had the flu and from my bed I could see 5 little tomtits flying by my window back and forth. It looked as if they were playing 'tag, you're it'. It made my time in bed much more fun. They reminded me to live my life as playful as possible even if it is with intense fever. So I just enjoyed my extra 'time off'.

Another thing I never will get enough of is the magnolia flower. I've painted them in so many ways and for me they symbolize that 'the new' is coming. The first sign that spring is on its way. So these two combined, the tomtit and magnolias celebrates life in a beautiful way.

Hope you can enjoy nature this week.

You probably know our days are getting longer. After the 21th of December we are on our way to the light again! Some day soon we can see the blossom on our dutch trees coming up. Personally I am looking forward to it.

Make it a good last week of 2016!

Nice contrast between the dark sky filled with hail stones and the new bright flowerheads that stand out against it.
