Postcard Paintings - Norway

2nd Twitter Art Exhibit :

I decided to contribute a painting ' All the world's a stage ' for a charity-cause in Moss, Norway.
The aim of the exhibit is that twitter-artists from around the world send a postcard size painting to raise funds for a charity.


So I'm excited to participate.

Ferris Wheel

Novelty at V & A Waterfront , Cape Town. The ferris-wheel without the circus .

Walk on the beach

Can't help but wonder. Walk on the beach , view of Table Mountain.

Work-Horse No More.

If this work-horse could talk. What story would it tell ? A popular stop in the Overberg region, Peregrine Farm stall.

Place of ' Bliss '

Finding images of your paintings you have not seen in a while.

Here's ' Elysium 1 & 2 ' .

Acrylics and mixed- media on canvas.

Abstract Painting - In The Moment

Attempting to paint in an abstract manner, making the first brush-stroke gets momentum going.

I let the paint flow. Leave the mind to wonder.
Bright, bold and spontaneous or a quiet , meditative and reflective rhythm sets in.

Your inspiration might be defined in the moment. Take the viewer on a journey. A glimpse into a story. Outer and inner worlds mingle with metaphor. There can be tension and harmony. Subtle reference to your subject matter.

Paint applied thick, thin, over, under or scratched away. Glazing for some depth and interest.

Step away, breath in the moment ... ( or light a cigarette)
