Leo

This is a pastel done on paper.

Brothers in Arms

Brothers in Arms

Another watercolour pour - I enjoy doing these.  This painting has been bought by a very good friend 

Dust Bath

This is another watercolour done on acid free board - the photo has come out a bit more yellow than it actually is.  I have just been doing a lot of quick paintings, as I have been very distracted with all my packing.
Firstly I must apologize for the delay in getting some pictures on my site.  We have been very busy packing up and are now just about on our way to Johannesburg.  I am very excited about going, as my daughter is just about due with our first grandchild.  But I am also very nervous, a whole new beginning for us!!

This is just a small watercolour that I have done on acid free board - Guinea fowl are always such fun to do.

Bedazzled

I just love painting zebra. This is another watercolor, and is 540mm x 300mm - not too big. It has also been sold.


This is a smallish oil painting of a kudu - I have included a picture of it in its frame. When I went down to Cape Town on my art course, Dale Elliot was kind enough to show me how to do this kind of frame for my paintings. Oil paintings have always worried me, as I do not like them framed, always thought that they lacked something. I love the way this makes them jump out of the frame, and now they look more like a watercolor that has mountboard - just more finished. What do you think?

Afternoon Stroll at Chobe

Oil on Canvas 760mm x 610mm We were driving back to our campsite in Chobe, when we decided to take one more last loop down to the river to see if there was anything, and chanced upon these two lions returning from having a drink. I just loved the picture, especially with the late afternoon glow from the setting sun.
