Madonna and Child - In Abstract

One of my many favourite paintings , unfortunately sold some time ago.

This abstract painting was inspired by a particular waterfall in Hogsback, Eastern Cape.
Hence the title ' Madonna and Child ' .

Spending some time beneath this waterfall sure is invigorating !

If you happen to be in Hogsback , do visit this waterfall ! In summer .

Earth Hour - Glow

How was your Earth Hour 2011 ?



This image taken without a flash using basic mobile phone.
Colours have been manipulated to enhance the glow.
The candlabra is made of a ceramic sculpture I created.
In the background 'Enigma 2' plays its part.

Going back to basics now and again ... can invigorate .

Large Sunflowers Painting with Presence

The large sunflower painting that was commissioned ; in its home ; over 1000km away.
After carefully building a wooden-crate for this painting it arrived safely intact. Remember it is 2,0 x 1,5m in size.
Now with a frame around the painting , it fills the space with a pleasant , invigorating presence.

Vineyards

The vineyards in Durbanville area. By now I think the grapes are ready for harvest , ready for wine production.
Wonder how the weather changes the taste.
Do not mind a tasting once ready !

Another look - Abstract Painting

Having another look at a heavy textured abstract on canvas.
This one is titled - Grounded .
Use of Symbols , Metaphor and mark-making. Inspired by human evidence on ancient landscape.
