I guess if you follow the happy miniatures for a while you know by now I love to paint animals.

Most of the times when I'm asked to paint a portret of somebody's animalfriend, I get a certain feeling while painting.

It feels like direct communication with the soul of the animal, it's kind of a meditative state we are in. Me and my model.

While painting Boefje I felt so much love and a certain shyness, as if she felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention of a painted portret.

There is always a sudden moment I can feel the portret is ready and the essence of somebody is captured. It's as if I'm guided and wake up to see what 'we' have created.

Personally I love to look in the eyes of this enchanting creature called 'Boefje' I hope you do too.

And hé, maybe today we can try to see the world with the same loving look and find out it changes our perspective in a good way.

An owl has a lot of symbolic meanings, one of them is protection. Wish this little owl brings lots of love and protection to a little girl who needs it right now.

This is Sara, she is no longer in our world, however she still brought a message. A wise message, in the form of a letter. I can imagine this really sounds crazy, but sometimes 'crazy' things are more normal then they appear. Would you like to get a message and a painting of your beloved pet?

What I like about a snowy landscape is the emptiness of the image, the omission, it gets very graphic. Only some parts still ask for attention and the rest is immersed in tranquility.
