Hundred days of creating art in 2019
#the100dayproject is a free art project that takes place online.
Every spring, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of exploring their creativity.
At the beginning of April 2019 I saw the first posts appear on Instagram and I decided to become one of these thousands.
Tiny dots
I named my own contribution #100daysoftinydots because, well, the project had to last a hundred days and my work usually consists of lots of tiny dots.
I decided to create a small work every day, like mini canvases, magnets and cards. And maybe once in a while a sketch or an update of a larger work.
A little bit too ambitious
But after a few days of creating, photographing and posting new work, I had to admit my ambitions were too high.
In order to reduce the pressure for myself, I changed my plans. I would make a hundred works, just not in a hundred days.
On this page you will find some of the contributions as I have posted them on Instagram.

A landscape of painted dots.
Detail of a larger painting I’ve been working on for a couple of months. In between the commissions and the work I’ve made for my #100daysoftinydots project. I can’t wait to finish this one!

About six weeks ago I thought I finished this round painting. Apparently I didn’t, because I’ve changed it a bit by painting more tiny dots. Now it’s almost ready, it just needs a bit of resin.

Without a single dot but with lots of tiny circles. 🔘 Well, you could say these tiny circles are hollow tiny dots. 😇

Yes! I’m feeling proud of myself, because I finally managed to put up my first print in my web shop. It’s taken me quite some time to build the website and then translating everything. I’m happy with the quality of the prints and looking forward to publish more designs. There is a link in my bio, if you want to have a look.
But first I am going to enjoy the current (and very temporarily) 25 degrees Centigrade.

I love working with colours, but often I use too many colours so this is a perfect way of balancing. Or recovering. 🤣

One of the new cards I painted this week. They will be added to my web shop later this week. I’m also working on getting prints available for sale. It’s been fun testing all kinds of different paper!

More doodling. Relaxing on my mind because of the repetitive movements but a bit stressful on my hand. 😅
