Hi everyone!
This past June we did something we have never tried before… we flew an artist from Europe to Seattle to film a class! The artist is the delightful Nelleke Verhoeff, and her new class will open for registration this coming Friday, August 30th!
I wanted to you get to know Nelleke a little bit, so I asked her to answer three questions. Answer #2 is below, with the last coming tomorrow.

2.What kind of animal do you think you are, and what kind of animal are you actually?
Hahaha, funny question! I think I am a monkey. I like to play. Hopping from one tree to the other.
But actually I’m an elephant, because I’m not as flexible and adventurous as a monkey. 😉

Now it’s your turn! What kind of animal do you think you are, and what kind of animal are you actually? (This question was made up by our son Wes, 24, who stayed with us this summer.) Please answer in the comments!
Me? I think I’m a dog, all laid back and wiggly… but I’m actually a cat, all moody and prickly. (I do lie down and purr a lot, though!)
Tomorrow Nelleke will answer the question:
3. Name the top three reasons you draw and paint.

I think I’m a dog…loyal, dependable, and happy if I’m fed. I’m actually a sloth….slow moving…but I get there.
Love the answers! 🐵 I think I am a bird, a little “flighty” as I like to work on a variety of art all at once but actually, I think I am a cat! Naps are good and I like being spoiled! 🐱
I’m a gorrrrrrrilla . . . crashing through the jungle of life, always looking for a snack and hairy, especially on my chin as I age . . .
I think I’m a fierce lion. I’m really a lovable Labrador Retriever.
I think I might be a squirrel…I am hopping around in seemingly unlogical ways . Actually I feel more like a wooshy bumble bee…physics say, „you can‘t fly“ but miraculously I can!
I think I’m a cat; smart, independent … sly.
But, truth be told, I’m a dog – loving life most when I’m close to my pack.
Nice question… I am a deer, preferably bivouacing along the edge of the forest, but in the event of imminent danger being able to run into the forest .. so a prey. But a butterfly would look good on me too. Frisky and fleeting
I think i’m an owl, wise and calm… but actually i’m more like a robin, shy, busy and joyful 😉
I see myself as a cat… lazy, sleeping all the time and a loner. But in reality, I’m a German Sheppard…. trying to save everyone and being a vigilante hero….
