Port Elizabeth CBD - Buildings

After many years of neglect, good to see old buildings being renovated in Port Elizabeth city centre.

Very few buildings with this architectural style remain in Port Elizabeth.

Wonder what it will be used as?

Maybe a hotel?

Painting 'Enigma1' from Poetry

This painting that was interpreted from a poem.

HEATWAVES

she dances on tiptoe
light-headed
over burnt orange heatwaves
he swims naked
through a cool pool
of electric blue
their movements mingle
in a child's painting
abandoned in the rain

Beginning stage of ' Enigma 2 '

The early stages of painting. Adopting a figurative technique, which i have not created in a while. Trying to interpret in a semi-abstract manner.

The inspiration comes from a poem.

Painting and Poetry Art Exhibition

An interesting exhibition coming up. Artist's have to create paintings inspired by selected poetry. My challenge is to do an abstract interpretation of a poem. Should be interesting.
