This is one of my paintings from my Childhood series with the theme “The Pink Room” titled ‘Siesta?!’

Growing up I shared the room seen in the painting with my sister. Potrayed here is a moment in time I remember so vividly; Dad always made us take an afternoon nap, I thought that was a waste of my time,  wanting to play, run, draw etc. I always waited untill everyone in the house fell asleep and sneaked out to play with all the interesting creatures in my little Universe; butterflies, lizards, beetles, lady-birds, ants etc.

Vanessa often chooses children as the subject of her paintings, skillfully capturing the genuine innocence and spirit of youth. Participating in this charity event was close to Vanessa's heart, as the Ronald McDonald House opens its doors for the parents of patients of the Juliana Children's Hospital, offering them a place to sleep and comfort in the midst of difficult times. The Ronald McDonald House is run by volunteers and depends on sponsors and donations.

The painting that was donated by Vanessa Paulina was entitled “Enchanting,” and Vanessa was thrilled that it was sold and raised a sum of € 2.000,-.

I did not take this picture but coming across it on the internet was such a recognition…I've seen sky's like this before…in my childhood…? or perhaps in another lifetime….

this was so nice! I was sitting with Eduard (colleague and friend) on my roof-terrace, and all of a sudden Eduard spotted our cabin! just across the Maas-river ! in front of my house! okay with the river between of course….

so the next day I had to take a pic.
