"Oranje Blitz" is a captivating 60-inch by 60-inch oil on canvas painting that masterfully blends the unexpected with the iconic. This striking portrait features a charismatic West Highland White Terrier, rendered with meticulous detail and an almost palpable texture to its white fur, poised in the dynamic stance of a speed skater. The terrier, an emblem of spirited charm, is humorously yet convincingly adorned in the distinctive orange and blue uniform of the Dutch national speed skating team, complete with a regulation helmet and sophisticated spectacles that lend an air of intellectual determination to its canine gaze.

The background, rendered with soft focus and vibrant, blurred hues of red, white, and blue, evokes the exhilarating atmosphere of a competitive ice rink, suggesting speed and motion without distracting from the central subject. This juxtaposition of a beloved domestic animal with the high-octane world of professional sports creates a work that is both whimsical and deeply engaging.
