My end of year promise…

December 9, 2024 Time has been fast-forwarding these last few weeks, or so it seems! It is as if I barely have time to open my paint-tubes, and poof, another weeks has gone. ‘t Must be the season. Looking ahead at the coming weeks, I will not be posting as many new works as I have in the… Read More »

Motherly discipline pays off…

November 25, 2024 It has been quite a while since I saw this scene. It was on a balmy September day some years ago. I was lounging at the edge of a little vegetation covered pond.

The sun was there, but then again it was not. It was what I would call an irresolute sun. “Shall I rise, shall I… Read More »

Shoe rivalry…

30 September, 2024 All painting gives me great pleasure, but there are some pieces that do so more than others. This new work is based on a wedding I once attended in Richmond Park, London (UK). I looked at the shoes on the bridesmaids and I thought to myself: “Never will I be seen in one of those… Read More »

A city scene

September 22, 2024 As part of my mentoring sessions, I decided to try my hand at a city scene. And I loved working on it! I titled it ‘211’. Can you guess why? Let me know in the comments! I had such fun doing this painting, maybe just because it is not my usual subject. The main idea… Read More »
