Remember my portrait of Jojanneke pregnant? Well, she gave birth to Thomas, the lovely baby portaited here. The parents of Jojanneke asked me to paint their grandchild and gave it to their daughter as a present.

On the painting Thomas is just one day old. Imagine that, just one day old and already immortalised! He looks so innocent, sleeping without a care in the world.

I can only imagine what life has in store for him, but whatever it is, I'm sure he's going to be okay. How can it be any different if you're surrounded with so much love.

kind regards, Gerard

Mare

It seems I'm heavy on the portraits this week. Today I've got a portrait for you of Mare, the new born baby of close friends of mine. The painting was commissioned by the parents of the mother as a gift. On the portrait Mare is just one day old. Imagine that, being portraited on the day you were born.

I'll be picking up my dailies next week like I used to. Have a great weekend!

kind regards, Gerard

The Baby

If you have been following my blog lately this scene might look somewhat familiar to you. It's the small version of my recent painting The Generations. I took a second look at that painting and thought that with some alterations it could work really well on a smaller size as well. Of course I wanted to find out immediately. Hope you agree with me on this!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
