Early summer, Parkview

 Acrylics on panel, 15 x 10 cm:

SOLD

Used a reference photo taken by my sister-in-law in her street. This time of year, the jacarandas are in bloom, making for clouds and carpets of purplish-blue flowers. Getting the color just right turned out to be really difficult, and it was even more difficult to get the camera to accurately reproduce what I painted!

Aloes at the corner

 Acrylics on board, 30 x 20 cm:

We tend to associate aloes with the tropics. But here in my corner of the world they bloom in winter, so they often make me think of cold, gloomy days. I took the reference photo on which I somewhat loosely based this picture just a few blocks from where I live. It was a bright, crisp day, but when I painted it the weather was rather gloomy and overcast, and this slipped into the painting, I think.

Aloes and lavender

A somewhat experimental piece (I kind of channeled Irma Stern or something), and I cannot quite decide whether I like it or absolutely hate it. Time will tell!

Cape turtle dove

 Acrylics on board, 20 x 15 cm:

Also known as ring-necked doves, these critters are found over much of southern and eastern Africa. They are very common around here in my neck of the woods, and their characteristic call something of a soundtrack to local scenery. Because they're so common, people hardly notice them, but I think they're rather beautiful and a worthy subject to paint.

Winter weeds, highveld

 Acrylics on board, 20 x 15 cm:

SOLD

Most people tell me they find highveld winters depressing. Me, I love the subdued earth tones, the scraggly weeds and puffy seed heads, the hint of ice in the evening breeze.
