Whats been happening?
It seems that summer has arrived at last, heralded by the Cape Doctor.
I am presenting another art workshop this Saturday, 26 October. The theme is “Eastern Magic”. We will be painting with ink and watercolour on paper.
Now, about my own work: the featured image is of one of my finished oil paintings on canvas. As inspiration I am using photos from a road trip we did to Namibia.
Here are a few more, some finished, a few still in progress.
I hope you like them!
Old abandoned car with cactus growing from engine.
Another beautiful old car, unfinished. Oil on canvas.
Kolmanskop: unfinished. Old car, unfinished. Both oil on canvas.
Almost done! Oil on canvas.

painting continued
I am continuing with my oil paintings. Its interresting to note that starting the pictures is the easy bit, its the finetuning and finishing thats the hard part! I have 8 paintings on the go at the moment .
I am a bit unsure af the themes, but will finish all the paintings (and start some more) and see where the process takes me. Six of them feature old cars that I photographed while on a roadtrip in Namibia a few years ago. The other two feature abandoned houses at Kolmanskop near Luderitz in the barren desert surroundings. My plan is to organise an exhibition. I will need to find a gallery that likes my stuff, we will cross that bridge when we get there!
Here are a few pictures of the paintings in progress.
