My new painting 'in the making' ❤ 60 x 80 cm (23 x 31 inch) hyper-realism-macro-art. #paintng #progress #hyperrealism

Yesterday I received the beautiful educational banner for "The Life Cycle of Stars" that I had the pleasure of creating together with @govertschilling.nl for planetenbanner.nl 😍😍 #banner #educational #stars #astronomy #art #infographic

I think that this (when completely finished and to my liking) is going to be my new favorite painting!! ❤❤ #vintage #tableware #mouse #painting #big #artwork #oilpainting

Finished! 😊 "Lovely spring!" oil on canvas 20 x 50 cm ❤☀🐦🌸 #birds #blossom #spring #greattit #cherryblossom #tree

Finished!! "Good Luck!" 18 x 24 cm - oil on canvas #fourleafclover #goodluck #painting #art #artwork #luck #clover #oilpainting

Interim results of the paintings I worked on this super nice weekend! To be continued next week. #paintings #hand #fourleafclover #birds #blossom #greattit

A little portrait drawing I made today to express how I feel about all the warmongering going around in the world. “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.” #johnlennon #peace #love #artwork

Finished! 🥳❤ The rage of Medusa! 🐍 Oil painting 40 x 50 cm. (for sale) #medusa #painting #oilpainting #snakes #rage #art #artwork #canvas #painter

The #painting was ready to be varnished. What a difference a little #varnish makes to a painting! See how beautifully it brings out the colors. This is a “retouch varnish,” which means it’s breathable, allowing the paint to continue to dry. Oil paint can take up to a year to dry completely. 😍😍 #art

**Sold**. I loved creating this painting and am delighted that it will be going to someone who loves peonies! ❤ #sold #art #oilpainting #peonies

#Timelapse Finished!! 🥳❤🤗 For the first time I tried not to go into too much detail until the end, but to apply painting techniques and keep the image ‘open’ 😍 Peonies and insects - oil on canvas - 18 x 24 cm #oilpainting #art #artwork #peonies #bees #bumblebees #ladybug #flowers #flowerart #paint

I've started a ( #sales ) #blog for my #paintings. see #link. If you're interested: these paintings are for sale except for the ones already marked "sold." I'm also available for #commissions, #digitalillustrations, and #murals. Sharing=very sweet! ❤ link: daniellepaintings.blogspot.com?view=classic

I was going through some old sketches of my work yesterday. It's so funny to see the difference from sketch to finished product! 😊 #kidsbook #childrensbook #coverart #cover #art

Sneak peek!! Almost done. Medusa, a severely tortured soul. Painting will be up for sale. #medusa #art #painting #oilpainting #portrait

*Works in progress* Another lovely painting session this weekend. It's nice to switch between these two very enjoyable projects! ❤❤ #oilpainting #forest #medusa

I was going through my artwork and I thought lets share some of my personal favorites! I hope you will enjoy seeing them (I am not sharing new work because I'm too busy making new work 🤣 yay!) #art #artwork #favorites

Working hard on my painting this weekend! I thought my last version of Medusa was a bit dull. Like she'd had a really boring week 😉 So I decided to give her a bit more emotion and a bit of a raw edge! (More later!) #medusa #art #artwork #mythology #snakes #bite

Here's a better photo of my "Cake" painting. The previous one had a lot of texture, due to the flash on the canvas. This is what it actually looks like! - "Cake" - oil paint - 20x20cm #painting #oilpainting #paint #cake #raspberry #blueberry #whippedcream #sweet #party #art #artwork #artist

Yay! It was a productive day today! I also finished my little cake painting. Want to surprise someone with something delicious, but low-calorie? Here's your chance! ❤😁 Cake - Oil Painting - 20x20cm #cake #oilpainting #artwork #sweet #art #artist #painting #fruit #sugar #yummy

Yay!! It's finished! ❤❤ What do you do when you want to surprise your partner (or you have something to make up for 😉 )? Pick a bouquet of flowers yourself, so romantic! ❤🥰 - Oil painting "For You" 20x50cm #oilpainting #painting #oil #art #artist #artwork #flowers #foryou #bouquet #paint #creative

I wanted to share this little painting with you. It's only 20x20cm (7.87x7.87 inches) and it's my attempt at a hyper-realistic painting. It's not finished yet (for example, look at the raspberries at the bottom). More later!! #painting #oilpainting #hyperrealism #cake #art #artwork #artist #painter

"Sneak preview" of 2 of the 4 paintings I'm working on!! 🥳🤗❤ (Besides the large painting of the foggy forest and the red Medusa). When they're finished, I'll share better photos, of course! #oilpainting #painting #art #artwork #artist #paint #loveit

Watercolor Kingfisher! (with some finishing up in Photoshop) #watercolor #painting #kingfisher #art #artwork

The only way for me to stay sane in this world going crazy is by working on this forest painting (100 x 60cm) and not be on social media too much. Still a lot to do, and apologies for the shine from the lamp. I'll post a video when finished. #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #forest #fog

2025 has been a complex year. Therefore I made this oil painting (20x20cm) of my feelings about the past year. I hope the New Year will bring us positive change. Or at least the start of change, and renewed hope. #oilpainting #war #doveofpeace #art #olivebranch #peace #hope #future #artwork #newyear

I'm still working on this painting, but since this image represents 2025 for me, I thought I'd post it now. The division, the wars, the selfish, sick World leaders.. It was, in short, a shitty year. Hopefully, it will get better so we can find a dove of peace alive again.

My little flower painting (20x20cm) is finished! With the real tulip vase next to it! ☺️ #flowers #tulips #vase #painting #oilpainting #butterfly #snale #catterpillar

**Painting progress** I'm enjoying working on my "mini still life" (20x20 cm). There's so much to learn! #stilllife #painting #oilpainting #tulips #vase #flowers #butterfly #art

I started a small still life/flower arrangement this evening to practice a classic oil painting, and I'm surprised by my progress. It's far from finished, but it's fun to get the hang of oil painting!! 🥰❤ #oilpainting #classicart #painting #art #flowers #tulips #vase #dutch

My tawny owl (oil on linen, 20 x 20 cm) is finished! It just needs some varnishing. It will be available for sale when it's ready! #oilpainting #painting #owl #tawnyowl #bird #artwork #art #artist

I've started a small project alongside the Medusa painting. The base is getting there! 🦉❤️ A tawny owl, like the one who live nearby our house and makes this wonderful wooded area even more beautiful at night with its impressive sounds. #owl #painting #oilpainting #tawnyowl

Painting update! Another few days work and she will be finished ❤️🐍 #painting #art #artist #medusa #mythology #oilpainting

My new artwork for @sron_space - Space Research Organisation Netherlands, congratulations to the team and thank you for having me as your artist 🤗 #art #spaceart #artistimpression #artwork #space #research #sron #teamwork #science #artist

Usually I don't make similar artworks twice, but I started a new Medusa painting today. A fiery red one instead of the previous greenish-blue version. I suppose I am drawn to the beautiful Medusa, her fierceness after what was done to her, and her sad fate. #medusa #artwork #paint #oilpainting #red

My painting is finished! "Circus of Life" — There's a ticket at your feet. Will you pick it up and walk in, or will you keep walking? This painting will also be available for sale, eventually, but I'd like to exhibit it first! #oilpainting #painting #art #artwork #paint #artist #circus #life #ticket

**Unfinished**... but it's starting to get there! "Circus of Life." you find a ticket on the floor in front of you, the choice is yours: would you pick it up and go inside, or do you keep walking? #life #yolo #art #painting #oilpainting #artwork

I've started a new painting (yes, as you can see the painting is still in the ugly phase 🤣🤣) Theme/title "Circus of life, enjoy the show!" Stay tuned for more!! ❤ #painting #circusoflife

The painting is finished. Now all that's left to do is a coat of varnish, and then she can eventually be sold! ❤ Who can think of a fitting name for this "flower girl"? #painting #oilpaint #flowers #nature #portrait #butterfly #art #artwork #artist #nature #magicalrealism #fantasyart #surealism

I am super excited to be asked to give a Guest Lecture at the University of Leiden as a part of their new Minor study "Our Universe". I'm very much looking forward. I am looking forward to talking to/with them! ❤️ #lecture #universe #art #astroart #cosmos #science #scienceart #talk

My new painting is coming along quite well! I think it will be finished next week! It's such a joy working on it! #oilpaintings #oilpaint #art #artwork #realart #magicalrealism #fantasyart #fantasy #flowers #flowergirl #nature #butterfly #imagination #painter #artist
