We got sun on our minds
As I sit down to write this post, the warm and sunny days feel so far away. I feel the wintery mood in my bones and dive deep into my warm cardigan. The light outside is flat, the sky shades of grey, a perfect day...
Daily dog drawings, week 12
This week, we've had our first real spring weather with marvelous warm and sunny days. On Thursday we even reached 18*C! I thought that if I'd take some more time outdoors with the dogs, I wouldn't be able to finish all my work and the 7...
Daily dog drawings, week 11
Another week flew by and it feels like I've been drawing non-stop but I managed to get 7 more dogs into the 100day club :-) Six of these dogs were suggestions from the Instagram dog community who tagged their friends, the last one, Amos, was a...

Daily dog drawings, week 8
The past week has been exciting, with celebrations for Mo's birthday, the first spring-like days, and lots of drawing. For the dogs, one of the highlights was a pheasant walking around the studio picking sunflower seeds from underneath the bird feeders. His feathers shone brightly in...
Happy birthday Mogwai!
Happy Birthday, Mogwai & siblings <3 12 years of the best gremlin in the world, the sweetest Momootje, always by my side. Endless energy, endless love. Special birthdays require special efforts, so when we visited Belgium, we drove to the beach for early birthday walks. The dogs were...
