Here you can see two of my favorite places in Cali

Here you can see two of my favorite places in California: Baker beach at the Golden Gate Bridge, and Morro Bay featuring the stunning Morro Rock. 🪨 We’re enjoying our last days in California. ☺️ And even though it’s been a fun (and long) trip, I’m looking forward to going back home to the Netherlands! 🇳🇱

Short but nice stay in Los Angeles. Didn’t go to many places as the first time we were here, but we enjoyed new experiences, such as visiting the Universal Studios on a rainy day. Definitely will repeat that one! Until next time LA! 🌴

We had such a great time in Las Vegas. 🤩 We enjoyed the Extravaganza show and the Bellagio Fountains. Had mouth-watering food at the Bacchanal buffet in Caesars Palace, and indulged in the best cinnamon rolls at Bellagio patisserie. And of course, we did a bit of gambling. 🎰

Next stop is Los Angeles! 🌴

A portrait I made for a friend, whose father is a farmer. I love this loose painterly style, and I look forward to creating more artwork like this in 2023. 🤗

First two photos in the slide are the scan/digital, then there’s the original.

Medium: gouache. 🎨

Lake Tahoe you were wild, but amazing! 😍 I’ve never experienced that much snow in my life. We had such a great time in the mountains, rode the gondola at Heavenly village, and did a bit of sledding. ❄️

I haven’t been everywhere, but I’ve been to a bunch of places, and I think Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places on earth. 🌲 Hope to comeback soon!

We’re now on our way to Reno. 🚙

#throwbackthursday
As 2022 comes to an end, I'm looking back at all the beautiful things that happened to me this year, including getting married and traveling to Paris for the first time! ❤️ I've shared photos of my wedding, but never got to share Paris, so here's a photo dump with some of my faves. ☺️

Did you know that Harvey and Dana were named after the TV series Suits? Such great names and show! I'm currently watching it, and I'm obssessed lol.

I hadn't had the time to share the portrait of this happy boy, which I finished about a month ago. It's funny, but even though I don't know Harvey in person, I feel a special connection with him. ❤️

Looking at his photos and videos, he seems like the sweetest Border Collie to me. And I've already talked to Harvey's parents, @threedogsandcounting and @kayke14 and they are happy I visit them in the near future, so I can meet Harvey 😆 and the rest of their dogs, which I'm also drawing. Looking forward to that. ✨

A few weeks ago, I finished this custom portrait ornament of the beautiful Dana, aka Princess. 💖 I'm incredibly proud of this piece, and looking back at my first dog portraits, I can see how my skills have improved. ✍️

This is one of the six dog portraits I'm making for @threedogsandcounting and @kayke14 Thanks again for commissioning me with this big and special project. 🐾

Three months ago I married the man of my dreams! ❤️ Right from the start, I knew he was the one, and now we're husband and wife. 🤵‍♂️👰🏽‍♀️

If I could describe how I feel about my husband in one quote, it would be this quote from the Netflix show Sex Life:

"He is my all-time favorite person. And I want us to live a hundred years and die at the exact same moment. And I want our souls to find each other on the other side as soon as possible, so we can fall in love and do it all over again."

The ceremony and reception took place in @rietland_ , Zuidwolde, and it was how I envisioned it. A beautiful and magical day. 🥰 I will be sharing more photos in my stories.

Thank you @portretjesvantine for capturing our special day and these beautiful photos. 📸

I'm still over the moon about the fact that I got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live! And from the very front row! 🤩

I've been listening to the RHCP since high school, and they're my ultimate favorite band, so seeing them live was a dream come true and a truly unforgettable experience. I also loved connecting with people from around the world. ❤️ Full story in my highlights.

A little more than a year ago, I asked my friend @camilladowns if I could draw her and her children. I wanted to improve my portrait skills and grow my portfolio. But I started to get a bunch of commissions (mostly dog portraits), and life got busy. So I paused Camilla's portrait to work on custom orders. 😬

However, I don't like having pending projects in the back of my mind, and I wanted to make something special for this trio. So after a well deserved break from commissions, I took sometime to finish this project. ✍️

Team TLC stands for Thomas, Camilla, and Lillian. Camilla told me their favorite colors are aqua, light blue, and green, so I tried to mix them in the background. Swipe to see the reference photos I based this illustration on.

Hope you like it, and see you in Reno soon @camilladowns ! 💙

I would like to give a shoutout to my friend Naz for painting this beautiful wedding timeline for us. 💖 She hand-painted it and fully customized it.🎨 We are beyond happy with the end result, and guests loved these cards too. 🥰 The quality is fantastic! Please go check @nazlierden ‘s work and give her a follow!

I was talking to Marten about our wedding day timeline and which moment during the day we're most looking forward to. Of course, the ceremony it's the most important part to us, and we cannot wait to say "I do." But I, for one, am looking forward to eating some cake and having some Prosecco. 🍰🥂 Marten, on the other hand, is looking forward to the buffet dinner and drinks haha. All in all, I think it's going to be a day we won't forget, surrounded with friends and family. ❤️Just 14 more days!!! Can't wait!
