Cheval Voyeur Farm

The last few "quickies" from Cheval Voyeur Farm.


This was a quick oil while there was still quite a lot of water around.


A charcoal sketch done while hiding in the bushes trying to keep out of the sun!

These are lovely Carol! And the sun is too much for me these days - do quick sketches from the car or from memory.

Absolutely love the horses and the water and the reflections Carol! And our mountain! Beautiful.

The charcoal sketch is charming and would make a great painting. Are you going to use it as the basis for a painting?

Hi Carol, you are really doing so well with your Plein Air painting! Perhaps you will do some larger paintings from these?
Carol said…
Hi Maree. Thank you. Yes, I cover myself with block out before going out and then wear a floppy hat and try to keep in the shade! My skin has suffered very badly from over exposure to the sun! Never tried the car though!
Carol said…
Hi Jean. Thank you and yes I was hoping to use it for a painting. This will open a whole new avenue for me - if it works!
Carol said…
Thanks Dianne. I will definately try to. I am finding it difficult to adapt from studio to outside and back again but I am sure it just takes practice.

Slangkop Lighthouse, Kommetjie

SOLD Slangkop lighthouse is the tallest iron tower on the South African Coast and sits at the one end of Kommetjie. It measures 100 feet from base to the balcony and has been operational since 1919. Every lighthouse has a different frequency of flashes and this one emits four flashes every 30 seconds as it turns and can be seen for 33 sea miles. Here is an oil painting of the lighthouse from a photograph Bryan took. I would like to do a watercolour of it sometime soon.
