Commission Accomplished

This painting was a commissioned artwork which thankfully the parents loved.  I thoroughly enjoyed painting it and am happy with the finished product.

This double portrait is really excellent, Carol! The muted colours give it a timeless feel. A lovely painting to own even if you do not know the children!

Thank you so much Marie.It is actually amazing how much you learn about a child while doing a photoshoot. It all helps when painting them.

Double portraits are always so difficult for me. What sweet expressions you have captured!!! You are a very courageous woman. Lovely!

Thanks for the visit Barbara, and the comment. That is high praise indeed, coming from a great artist like you, thank you.

Thank you Kathleen. This was my first double portrait but I did a photo shoot first which helped to find out more about the characters of the children. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

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.
