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.

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

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! ❤️

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

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. 🦬

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.
