About this Blog
This blog is mainly about my Art. I am a practising artist, living in South Africa. My posts will mostly be around my work, but will also contain the odd personal view on the South African art scene and perhaps even some articles on good places to visit in the Western Cape Area. If you are looking for cute little doggie pictures or anime videos you have come to the wrong place. I take my art seriously. My art is therefore of a “serious” nature -I hope this won’t stop you from browsing these pages, which contain links mainly to South African Art and Artists. I work in oils on canvas and board and my subjects vary according to what I am inspired by. This can be anything from a beautiful face to an abstract concept. There are many links to great Poster sites where you will find those cute little doggie pics.

Hello

Welcome!
This is a place for Art-lovers, art-buyers and art-makers looking for inspiration, new links, new ideas. I hope you find here what you are looking for. If you have travelled long and far, take some time to relax. The pictures that you see on this site are mostly South African original oil paintings for sale and /or for hire, and been created in studios after many years of study and hard work. Some are also posters which have been digitally created but are nevertheles art in the post-modern sense.The links mentioned will lead you to a wide range of pictures and styles.

Thought for the month…………..

-To be an artist takes courage, committment, a never say die approach to life. Putting your art on the web is a risky business but you will never know until you try. -To quote from one of my favourite guru’s Julia Cameron -…-the moment we open ourselves to making art, we simultaneously open ourselves to …….-We are automatically partnered. We encounter….:a thousand unseen helping hands… I think of these hands as an invisible web ungirding any creative endeavour. It is like throwing a switch or toppling the first domino – there is a spiritual chain reaction that occurs the moment we act ……….Something or somebody acts back.-
