Spread the LOVE… my way

‎”Don’t be afraid to know who you are. You are much more than you ever imagined” * Michael Jackson * I’m intrigued by Paradise, don’t know why exactly, but i think it might have something to do with being the idealist that i am. I believe in heaven on earth, and the fact that we [...]

There’s that silly mouse again. Second time in a week he pops out of one of my paintings… I wonder what he wants to say. Do you think it might have something to do with that big red heart he’s carrying around ?

Eek a Mouse! (Just for fun)

( Scroll down for the English version of this story) Vrijheid. Ik ben opgegroeid met 4 en 5 mei. Een van mijn oudste herinneringen is dat ik op het klimrek van de buurtspeelplaats zit en ik in de verte mijn moeder hoor roepen. Het is 4 mei, bijna 8 uur ‘s avonds, en ik moet [...]

“And you and i were never separate It’s just an illusion Wrought by the magical lens of perception Let us celebrate The Joy of Life Let us dance The Dance of Creation” * Michael Jackson*

The Entrance. Standing at the beginning of a new direction, standing at the portal towards Hope. She’s waiting, hesitating, wavering. Will she leave behind a world of hurt, distress and disconnection? It’s also the world she got to know. She knows how to move around, knows what they expect from her, she lives up to [...]

I’ve started to paint Michael’s Message of Love on other things besides canvas. I started with serving trays and tea-boxes, but i found a few wooden heart-shaped boxes for juwelry or chocolate, and the other day i found some little mirrors. I really like painting these items. it’s precise work and painting with little tricks seems to [...]

A few weeks ago a few artists from all around the world decided to try to create a portrait from the same picture of Michael. And this is what i made of it. I have taken pictures all through the process of creating it. Here we go First sketch and first attempt to do a [...]

I’ve got a new friend and she’s gonna do something against child abuse in the near future. She asked me to design a card for her. She also gave me permission to share the design here. So here it is…. I’ve added a little story i found somewhere on the net a few years ago. [...]

Last week i found a quote of an old song on Facebook. It says: “Here comes the sun. And i say, it’s alright” Couldn’t get it out of my head. And a picture formed itself in my mind… A new painting. So, i began with an empty canvas (60 cm by 80 cm) on Saturday. There [...]

Some people say i live in a fantasy because i see the world differently Visions come to me in my sleep i closed my eyes to see what God is showing me Close your eyes and imagine with me see the wonder in every living thing If we can live our lives the way it is in my dreams LOVE will take [...]

Scared of the moon standing in silence and tears on the ruins of life’s despair sorrow, anger and pain overflowing HOPE arrives LOVE is here…. * Marjolein

“Here’s to the Crazy Ones! The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t [...]

“Once… all alone I was lost in a world of strangers No one to trust On my own, I was lonely You… suddenly appeared It was cloudy before, but now it’s all clear You took away the fear And you brought me back to the light You are the sun You make me shine Or [...]

That other thought made me think of this one. I think i’m done thinking for a while now…
