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

Painting spam!! I'm getting closer to the results I want. The bottom half is more finished than the top. With each painting I am learning more how to work with oil paint. #newpainting #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #canvas #flowers #flowergirl

Hij is klaar!! Mijn nieuwe olieverf schilderij "Bizonder" - My newest oil painting is finished! 😊 ❤️#bison #oilpainting #painting #realpaint #grass #butterflies #ladybug #art #artwork #fantasyart

Great news! I am honored to announce that my artist impressions / astro artworks will be part of the new temporary exhibition (1 year) at the amazing Royal Eise Eisinga Planetarium (Unesco) named "I see what you don't see" starting week 29. #exhibition #unesco #astroart www.eisinga-planetarium.nl

After a long weekend of painting, the brush has to make way for the computer again on Monday. But it is a fun project to work on. Still a few weeks to go before this is completely to my liking. 🦬 #buffalo #yellowstonenationalpark #art #artwork #nature #painting #oilpainting #butterflies #vegetation

I wasn't going to post about the 'orange disaster' anymore, but this was too good an opportunity to share my art. #art #king

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

It was super fun last night to tell a group of ±50 (mostly) physics teachers about my work! The reactions were so nice, I enjoyed it! #talk #science #scienceart #astroart

Today during one of my #hikes in the #woods I saw #hairice for the first time! A special phenomena that happens only under the right climatological conditions.

Painting progress! #painting #oil #oilpainting #art #artist #underwater #swan #artwork #lilly #lotus #underwaterworld

My new painting project! 😀 I've always loved ponds and the underwater life. When finished, it will feel as if you are standing in the pond yourself (and if wished I will throw some water in your face for the 4D special effects 🤣) #painting #swan #pond #underwater #life #lily #painter #art #artwork

Finished!! Curiosity Cabinet / The Cabinet Inside My Head. 20 x 20 cm (7,8 x 7,8 inch) oil painting on canvas. #artwork #curiositycabinet #painting #oil #oilpainting

Hier het eindresultaat van het #schilderij van mijn #vader (overleden 14-4-2024) het is nu helemaal af, gevernist en vandaag naar de lijstenmaker gebracht. Eng om uit handen te geven, maar ben benieuwd hoe het er ingelijst uit zal zien. ❤ voor altijd in ons hart. #painting #father

Jaaahhh mijn schilderijtje is nu helemaal af!! Olieverf - 20 x 20 cm. Wat een priegelwerkje (heerlijk 😉) Later te koop wanneer ik een expositie ga houden (anders heb ik straks niks om te laten zien 😉) #oilpainting #olieverf #painting #artist #fantasyart #delftsblauw #sailboat #coffee #cupandsaucer

Daar is-ie dan! De laatste cover van de 6-delige #Drakenstorm serie: De gestolen edelsteen. Uitgegeven door uitgeverij Leopold. Wat was het leuk om deze serie te mogen illustreren, en ik zal het zeker gaan missen ❤🤗 Binnenkort verkrijgbaar. Kinderboeken.nl

Vorige week zondag was top! Samen met Andre Kuipers, Helen Kuipers en Paco Vink, super trots op het boek dat we met elkaar gemaakt hebben!! #topteam #kinderboek #space

My miniature #painting "Holland" is getting there!! (not done yet though) will be fore sale when I have an exhibition (yet to be planned, approx. next year). #holland #art

I'm working on a new oil-paint project, very different than the one before. Now with gold leaf! 😊 ❤️ #oilpainting #painting #art #realpaint #realpainting #floralart #flowers

My first oil painting is finished! Though, I can keep working on this for weeks. Oil paint stubborn, annoying and has a will of its own, and of course I am completely hooked on it now ❤️ #oilpainting #painting #art #artwork #medusa #mythology #canvas #fantasyart #real #original
