THE BEST WAY OUT IS ALWAYS THROUGH

There's really no other way... else you're stuck. And that means getting nowhere. And that's no good. So even when it feels like you can't go on, you have to find every ounce of strength to push you that one step further and get the momentum swinging in your favour again.

LAST WEEKEND'S WORK

I love knowing that I have an idea and am about to make it come to life. Painting while watching rugby and nibbling on some biltong makes me very, very happy. I am so grateful my kitchen counter (aka work space) faces the TV. 
BTW, Go the Bokke on Saturday!!!

JUST FOR FUN

My friend loves all things Frida Kahlo, so I decided to make her into Frida. She owns a black Scottie called Harold. He's in the portrait too!

My other friend loves all things John Lennon. I made her a birthday piece.

And then the question was posed by someone: "would you rather be a happy pig or an unhappy human?" The answers were mixed but I know without a doubt I'd rather be a happy pig. And so this next piece was born...

PORTRAITS

I was so excited about the arrival of my niece that I drew a portrait of her. 
Send me a nice pic of your loved one and I can make you one too. It makes a nice gift, don't you think?



LARGER PIECES

Trying my hand at larger works...


TRANSPORT TRIPTYCHS

A shout out to these classic modes of transport.



MORE VINTAGE

Experimenting on thicker, worn wood.
I like!
