Live Painting for Charity at Peter van Son – November 7
Some evenings bring everything together: art, music, meaningful connections and, above all, a shared purpose. On November 7, I had the pleasure of being part of such a special evening.
During a charity dinner organised by Rondetafel 131, I was invited to create a live painting at the beautiful venue of Peter van Son.
It was an evening where art, music and generosity came together, all in support of a wonderful cause.
Art Comes to Life
Throughout the evening, I worked on a new painting in front of the guests. One of the things I love most about live painting is allowing people to experience the creative process up close. From the very first brushstrokes to the gradual development of the final artwork.
It's always special to see how art sparks curiosity, inspires conversations and brings people together.
The evening was accompanied by wonderful live music from Sem Rozendaal and singer Bart van Diehoeck. This made the night even more special for me, as Bart also performed at our own wedding. A lovely personal connection!
Art with a Purpose
One of the highlights of the evening was the auction of my painting. The artwork was auctioned to raise money for Stichting Thijs en Stichting Taai, making the creative process even more meaningful.
Knowing that my work could contribute to such a meaningful cause makes me incredibly grateful. It's a wonderful feeling to see art become part of something bigger and to be able to make a difference through what I love doing most.
I look back on this evening with great pleasure. A night filled with inspiration, wonderful encounters, generosity and positive energy.
