When you are fortunate to have a dear friend, who is (of course) not only a wonderful person but also a very gifted artist, it is almost impossible to avoid asking the inevitable question: "Would you be able to paint a hippo for me?" This question started out as a genuine custom order, but over time, transformed into a much anticipated, very special, and shipped overseas present. The title of the painting is Happy Hippo (80 cm (31,5 inches) square), a very appropriate name indeed. Not only referring to this blog, but the hippo has a truly radiant smile. When I look at it, I simply have to smile back. Dear Joke, thank you so much for this masterpiece. I can now boast about possessing a real: Joke Aarsen. But its value can't compete with the treasure of having you and Ton in our lives. HHHLL
