Final exhibition for this year:

You might remember that in June I was privileged to take part in an exhibition at a beautiful private home. Well to my delight, the owner enjoyed it all so much that she has arranged another, which opens on Friday. I will be exhibiting with a group of artists whose work I really admire, so it will be wonderful to be part of it. As a result, I have been hard at work preparing some new works for it. I was so pressed for time that I posted some of them on the previous post, without elaborating, and here are some more. I delivered them this morning, and now it is up to Hannalize to work her magic.... she has an uncanny skill for hanging the right picture in the right place, and grouping works that really make music together!
For those of you who are in Port Elizabeth this weekend, it would be wonderful to see you there, so here's an invitation....

now its trees AND african children!

I suppose it is a natural progression, the trees and the lost generation of African Children seem to now find themselves together on the same canvasses! I am also loving the combination of printing, painting and drawing, with some collage thrown in for good measure. My studio looks like a tip because I have been on such a roll with these!

Still strolling around the woods!

I seem to be stuck on trees at the moment, they often crop up in my work because for me, trees are such a special part of life. They speak of fresh air, flowers, peace, permanence. They are these large living beings who do no harm, but bring goodness and life to the planet, home for birds, shelter for anyone who cares to rest in their shade. Even when they are cut down, they carry on giving, in the form of fuel for fires, building materials, compost etc.

to the woods.....

I have a friend, Esme Goosen, who is a wonderful artist, and also very generous with her time and ideas. She recently introduced me to the joys of acrylics. (I'll tell you more about that when she has sent me a photo of one of her paintings, there's a story behind it!)

Up until now I have been having a passionate affair with oils, and what I love about them is the slow drying time, which allows for lots of blending and manipulation of the paint as the paintings evolve. But I am finding that acrylics have joys of their own, and this new direction coincides with a growing desire to do some printing. I did some lino cuts of trees, and printed them with acrylic onto canvas. It was a natural progression from some of the directions I have been going in with the other work, running paint, metal foils etc. Then the games began, blending colours and playing with adding transparent layers of washes over each other.

Here are the results:

I guess you could say this goes from the sublime to the ridiculous....

........but I will never be an artist who can settle on one groove and stick in it.... so amongst all the angst about what the future holds for the children of Africa, there is still time for quirky playful moments!
So 2 new offerings,
