Robins are especially beautiful in the snow, don't you think?
It probably has something to do with their orange belly that contrasts so nicely with the white. That's why I had to portray this beauty.
Surprisingly cold spring weather in April suddenly wasn't so bad anymore. :-)

Do robins appear when loved ones are near? I would like to think so:-)

Some say, well if a robin visits you, why not appreciate him or her?  Welcome visitor usually bring gifts. You are free to interpret what gifts it brings...

'Robin In Your Garden'

Don't know if you got the same feeling, but I am in the mood for something light and friendly. Something like the miniature-painting of today and a poem that fits that mood.

The robin makes a laughing sound.

It makes me stop and look around

to see just what the robin sees-

fresh new leaves on twigs of trees,

a strong, high branch on which to rest,

a safe dry ledge to hold its nest.

This robin makes a laughing sound

I stop.

I always look around.

Sometimes a beautiful story travels by. Like the one brought by this readbrest. She suddenly appeared at the funeral of two girls mother. She stood there proud and wise, as if she wanted to send comfort and say I'm confident in my next step.

'Confident Step'

Soms reist er onverwacht een mooi verhaal voorbij. Zoals het verhaal wat hoort bij dit roodborstje. Zij dook opeens op tijdens de begrafenis van de moeder van N en R. Met haar borst vooruit en een trotse tred alsof ze wilde zeggen wees gerust, ik heb vertrouwen in mijn nieuwe stap.

'Counting Red Robins'

acrylic on canvas 5x5cm (2x2"inch)

This weekend is the 'great backyard bird count' in Holland, 

I hope we will see a lot of red robins. 

To me it feels so special to spot one, 

as if they will, like a falling star, grant you a wish...
