People and animals

The band between people and bird or animals, always fascinates me because despite human behaviour, they still want to be your friend. But in my paintings sometimes especially birds are symbol for a deeper meening. For example: about being loved and the connexion between heaven and earth. This is certainly the case with next painting: "Girl feeding the doves"

The girl flying on the eagle's neck symbols myself leaning on God when trouble comes my way. Interesting detail is that my mother's 2e name is Arendje (Eagle)
