Butterflies can be wonderful messengers. Particularly for our loved ones who are physically no longer in our world. Our loved ones are never truly gone as long as they remain in our hearts and thoughts. Just by fluttering by they touch our hearts for a moment.

Does it also make you happy to see a butterfly? It symbolizes spring, color and lightness, among other things. You know what makes it even a better gift? Floating in the pool and then feeling such a beautiful butterfly land on you. A momentary break from his flight to the butterfly and a moment of total connection for me.

Just living is not enough, said the butterfly,

one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.

The most lovable sign of spring is seeing butterflies again. They need sunny weather. When the sun shines, they can absorb solar heat with their wings, to warm up and fly.


Butterflies are light and frivolous the way they flutter from flower to flower. It's a joyous sight. They simply enjoy life so it seems. Makes me smile always.

To enter spring I've painted a butterfly for you today. It's one from South-America and usually when they rest they will sit upside down in a high tree. I like their graphic pattern a lot. The male can make a cracking noise, although nobody knows what it's used for. That's how they got their name.

Hope we get to enjoy lots of sun this week, 
With Love Lies

This yellow butterfly is calling to you if you are in need for some joy and lightness. If it's important to you to feel your 'self' stronger. If you want to attract some self-love so to say.

Yes you love your children and your partner and your friends. But now is the time to love You!
This butterfly helps you to make self-love feel as a light-effort-thing to do.
You feel the connection with your higher self every time you look at the almost golden wings of this 'Phoebis Argante Argante'
It tells you: "No need to become 'perfect' because you already are perfect just the way you are now."

no.1001

Stel dat je iedere dag een miniatuur hebt geschildert met een klein blij moment, om anderen en jezelf op te vrolijken. Stel het is de dag dat je de 1000ste mini schildert, en je vraagt iedereen wat zijn of haar gelukkigste moment van de afgelopen 1000 dagen was. Wat nou als je net op die feestelijke dag een ongelofelijk vervelend bericht krijgt. Een bericht over een, voor mij, erg belangrijke levensgezel Raf. Mijn lieve leuke superhond Raf voelt zich letterlijk hondsberoerd en blijkt opeens twee enorme tumoren in zijn buik te hebben en we weten de verdere uitslag nog niet. Wat nou als je dat bericht krijgt? Ik had persoonlijk geen enkele behoefte om nog een nummer 1001 te schilderen. Totaal en helemaal niet. En eigenlijk nog steeds niet. Maar ja wat stelt dit project dan nog voor als je dat waarvoor je het iedere dag schildert zelf niet kan toepassen. Ik ga me gewoon een hele gezonde en blije Raf voorstellen, een beetje zoals de dappere vos van no.1000. Dus hier is dan toch, een dag later dan eigenlijk de bedoeling is nr 1001

Suppose you have painted small happy moments, to cheer up others and yourself. Suppose it's is the day that you paint your 1000th mini, and you ask everyone what was your happiest moment of the last 1000 days. What if you just get an incredibly unpleasant message yourself on this supposed day of celebration. A message about a very important one for me, Raf. My dear super cute dog Raf feels terribly sick and the vet suddenly discovered two huge tumors in his stomach and we have to wait for further results. What if you get that message? I personally did not feel any need to paint a number 1001. And still do not. But what use and justification would this project have. If the reason for which I paint these miniatures every day could'nt be implemented by myself. I'll just imagine a very healthy and happy Raf. Like the brave foxy no.1000. So that's why later than actually intended here is no 1001

Sometimes nature gives something back. Like when a butterflyspecies that was almost extinct suddenly has new growth. This applies to the white-letter hairstreak (iepenpage). Of these beauties new ones were spotted in Gelderland, the Netherlands. That's news that truly makes me happy. This rare butterfly always sits whit it's wings closed. That's why I painted it seen from it's belly.

When i painted this butterfly the title 'Angel Dust' came instantly to mind. Don't know why. Maybe because of the beauty of the angelic color blue or because of the fragile yet strong wings. But when i looked it up, the word 'Angel Dust' has quite a bad association. It's the name of a violent and nasty halucinating street drug. So i hesitated of course, but hey perhaps it is time that this title regains it's positive intention...
