Painting out in the open again

For the past couple of weeks we have been painting at Cheval Voyeur in Phillipi, a beautiful farm owned by Colleen and John Beake who have welcomed us painters with open arms. Thank you Colleen and John for sharing this beautiful environment with us.

Wow Marie, that is praise indeed coming from you. Thank you so much. I thought my technique was sadly lacking, but maybe it is not so bad after all! You have made my day!

Wow Carol, I love this painting! It is so atmospheric and you have handled the paint superbly! I am impressed that you have managed to paint en plein air and then complete the painting from memory. This is definitely the way to go when painting outdoors, you need to take it home and then do the problem solving and fix any composition problems using your knowledge of design elements. Not an easy thing to do!

I don't know why I didn't comment on this before - probably because I've already told you that I think it is superb! You've caught the farm perfectly in this one.

Hi Kath. Thank you!!!! That is truly great praise coming frojm you!! Sometimes one gets so low and feels that we are just not getting there and then we produce something wow and it is just so fantastic! I think the high would not be as good if it came too often :)

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.
