Landscape with cabbage tree

A rather characteristic kind of landscape in some areas of South Africa: flat, grassy plains dotted with hills and cabbage trees. These trees are named after their cabbage-like leaves, and are also known as kiepersol trees.

Some random sketches

I have been taking a break from painting in order to study up on some aspects of art that have always eluded me. How long I'll be busy with that, I don't know, but I'll post the occasional sketch here just to keep the blog alive.

Two still life sketches done from life:

And two in ballpoint pen plus colored pencil, cobbled together from various reference photos:

I have actually been itching to take up the brushes again, so perhaps I'll soon succumb to temptation and paint something...

Country cottage

And now for something completely different. Country cottage, acrylic on board, ACEO size (= 2.5 x 3.5 inches, or 64 x 89 mm). And yes, light blazing from all the windows, a la Kinkade. Haven't done one of these in ages, and I had so much fun I think I'll do a whole series...

Grapes, mushrooms

And another small one. I really should do a whole series of them, but we'll see...

EDIT, 27/11/2019:

The book announced below has since been unpublished, so it is no longer available at Amazon. I have decided to make it available for free at a rather nice little website I just discovered, called Storyweaver.

My latest children's book, Itumeleng and the Moo-normous Cow, is finally available!

You can read the first few pages on my Books page here.

An Afrikaans version is also available:

It's a bit of a departure from my previous books, in that it is extensively illustrated. I had so much fun with it, I think I'm going to stick to this format for a while!
