关于此艺术家

I cannot say that I have been influenced by any particular Artist, for that reason I would rather say that I get my “influence” from nature and its colours. In the beginning of 2006 while busy with other projects, I decided to use the spring flowers in the Western Cape as a subject. I started working on it in 2007and have only done a few other paintings in-between.

Since it’s my nature to be drawn to things that makes me want to take a closer look, just in case I missed something, it came as no surprise that I chose the smallest of the spring flowers lining our roads as my target. The bigger ones however, will not be neglected as time goes by.

I was thrown a curve-ball when I started working on the pictures! One I did not expect, although I should have. Nature found a way to allow my “just in case I missed something” view of things to get into my paintings. Insects I missed seeing before starting a picture caught me by surprise while working. I decided to include them to keep the work interesting for myself and to give viewers of the paintings the same pleasant surprise I had.

Daisy

2007
Pastel
56.1 x 45cm (22.1 x 17.7 in)

Common names: Ox-eye daisy, Rain Daisy, Witbotterblom (Direct translation: White-butter-flower) On the Western Coast of Southern Africa, Daisies are everywhere on the sides of the road in spring time and sometimes looks like snow covering the ground. This is rather amazing as some of those areas are what would be called semi desert. This particular flower was used due to the bits of pollen on the leaves and the insect. The plant grows about 15cm (5.9 in) high although I have also seen some in full bloom with a max height of 1cm (0.4 in) while desperately trying to survive in an area that only got a few drops of rain water!

Buttercup-Yellow

2007
Pastel
50 x 70cm (19.7 x 27.6 in)

These flowers come in clusters of 3 or sometimes even 7 on each stem. Not opening at exactly the same time they allow Capetonians a prolonged view. Variation in colour due to location is possible. Viewing a large area covered by them gives the impression that they are a Buttercup- Yellow.

Garden Flames

2008
Pastel
Size 69.4 x 41.6cm (27.3 x 16.4in)

Family: Strelitziaceae Common Names: Crane flower, Bird of Paradise Flower or Geel Piesang (Yellow Banana) This flower was found while walking through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Majestic and strong are words best describing the overall look of these plans. Strelitzias are grown and used as cut flowers across the world however they are indigenous to South Africa and grows wild in the Eastern Cape.

Old Man

2004
Pastel
24.8 x 34.2 (9.8 x 13.5 in)

This gentle-man belongs to the Venda Tribe of South Africa. They speak Tshivenda, a language that rolls nicely on the tongue, and is soft on the ear. He was about 70 years old when I did this picture. He lives in the mountains in Limpopo Province. I have found them gentle kind people with lots of respect towards their elders and each other.

Orange

2004
Pastel
46.2 x 65.9 (18.2 x 25.9 in)

The flowers seems to have captured the sunshine and heat of the Venda area in the Limpopo Province.The bush in that area of South Africa is very lush and thick due to the semi equatorial weather

New Born

2004
Pastel
46.3cm x 65cm (18.2 - 25.6 in)

This baby, surely not more than an hour old, was seen in the early morning on the side of the road in the rural areas of Limpopo, South Africa.

Pretty in Pink

2008
Pastel
100.04 x 49.8 cm (39.4 x 19.6in)

These flowers are most likely to make their mark on lawns and where the grass is a bit shorter than on the side of the roads. Should you happen to come across a patch where they don’t have to compete for space, the sight is amazing with their beautiful pink colour. The plant’s leaves are rather small and you can see they tried very hard to copy the leaves of a clover-plant. Sadly for them they did not succeed as they forgot to “paint” the lighter flecks in the mid section of the leaves green as well.
