These two horses were waiting for their daily ride, one already saddled. They were fighting, it seemed, but soon I saw they were playing, cuddling even.

In Sakhalin, Russia, there are many Dacha's. They are used by the Russians mainly as weekend homes, growing your own vegetables, escape the city and enjoy nature. I used to live there for a while and the crispy snow there was incredible. Now, all over the place in the world, weather is going crazy but here in Holland...rain. So, I enjoy the snow on my painting.

This snow painting is inspired by the weekly challenge on dailypaintworks.com. It's a great art website where many artists post their art.

This is my gallery there:

I am so happy I live close to the beach again! The sky changes every 5 minutes so it wil be a good challenge for me to practice my plein air skills soon. First, I wait for my gear to arrive in the container from Houston. And that is a good excuse not to conquer the cold, slicing wind at the moment :) So, I made this one in my studio from pictures.

On a trip through the hill country in Texas, we passed this house and I just HAD to turn back to take a few reference pictures for this painting. 

This is the last painting of Texas really made in Texas... I am now settling back into my home country, the Netherlands. Losts (lots!!) of inspiration here too but I am still hung up on my Texas themes. So, I will paint a little of both worlds in the future.
