Blue is a colour that resonates with me. I love it. I love other colours too, red would be one, but blue is one of those versatile colours that you can incorporate in any kind of design with most colours and it will just work. It’s a calming colour, I even painted some of the…

A vase of spring
Spring daffodils Acrylic on canvas sheet (application with a palette knife only) 30 X 42 cm I’m not a huge fan of summer, especially here in Zululand where the summers are hot, humid and sticky! Im a Winter person, but I love flowers of all seasons and how each flower and smell is unique to…
Lockdown quick studies…
Lockdown has given me much opportunity for creativity, but at the same time there have been many projects that have been put on the back burner due to a lack of enough time in a day. Now that we have the time I have to divide myself between my painting and those back-burner DIY projects….
Red Rose
Red Rose Acrylic on canvas with palette knife 40cm X 40cm Occasionally I start a painting, and I become disheartened with the direction the painting is taking, and I abandon it. This particular painting has been waiting 3 years for me to complete! I had this plan of doing a group of flowers, all the…
Tank Puppies
For the last year or so I have been raising funds to assist with protection and saving of our Rhino. Initially as a guesthouse we supported local anti-poaching units, but I wanted to take this further. As an artist living in a guesthouse I have access to a large amount of international tourists who stay…
Five Fauve rhino’s
A friend referred to these paintings as Fauve. I didn’t think about it like that at the time but they are. Especially if you look at the definition of what Fauvism is. “Fauvism is the style of les Fauves, a group of early twentieth-century modern artists, whose works emphasized painterly qualities, and strong colour over…

The plight of the rhino
As I am sure most of you who know me and follow my blog know how near and dear rhinos are to me. Earlier this year I made a commitment to donate all profits from the sales of my rhino paintings and prints to the preservation and protection of our rhino. In August of 2019…
A Big Black Rhinoceros
As I am sure you have gathered by now the rhino is my favourite of all the living creatures. Living where we do I am fortunate enough to be able to see them as often as I want. Sadly the plight of the rhino has become extreme with poachers steadily destroying any chance of this…
Fabulous Fuchsia
I love the glorious tangles of multicoloured flowers that fill a fuchsia bush. Another one of my favourite flowers, (and I have many) that unfortunately does not like to grow in our sub-tropical climate. Their buds form in pairs, and their flowers, once opened, have interesting and unusual shapes. This particular variety – Ballerina Blau,…
Moth orchid
Most of us know the Phalaenopsis orchid as the moth orchid because they look like moths in flight. What I find incredible is there is fossil evidence that these orchids were around when the dinosaurs roamed the planet, and we now happily buy them from the local Woolies or garden nursery as houseplants that are…
A bowl of lemons
When making a whistle stop tour to visit our son in Cape Town I of course had to go and visit some art shops. Sadly nothing quite compares to that huge craft store in Dubai called Creative Minds… I am going to have to make peace with more modest art stores here in SA. Finding…
