This is a soft, gentle rendition of a mother and her baby taking a few first steps on the beach. A special moment captured in the late afternoon sun.

16" X 20"

WHITE FLOWERS ON GRAIN SACK
SOLD ~ oil on canvas |
This setting is simply a lovely ensemble of a few French objects which I painted to compliment a previous painting a client bought for her husband. It has a masculine feel to it with the brown and blue background setting off the white flowers. The teacup reflects the teapot in the previous painting and subtly unites the two paintings.

TOMATOES OF PROVENCE
THIS PAINTING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE |
This fresh Provincial painting is reminiscent of all things French. My husband brought these fresh tomatoes home last night and once I saw it I knew it was going to land up in my painting today! I plonked it down on the kitchen chair, as I was baking bread and there was nowhere else in the kitchen for it to go!
I love the strong contrast of red against blue and the lovely topiary which is one of many in my house!

NEDERBURG PINOTAGE
My mother brought a bottle as a gift from my brother on her last visit to me in Carmel, California.
Nederburg is a beautiful wine estate in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands and I am so pleased to have captured a part of it in this painting.

SHABBY CHIC ROSES
My latest painting in a series of truly French inspired works. I mainly want to depict the touch of sunlight on fresh fruit which reminds of a lazy morning in the South of France! Hence the grain sack dish cloth! I did, however, get this fabulous vase from my brother Frans when I visited South Africa in June, and absolutely L O V E it!

DAILY BREAD
oil on canvas |
For a few months now, I have been baking a ciabatta everyday, and one of the few things my husband I enjoy together is the odd glass of Carmel Hills Winery's Pinot Noir with some lovely cheeses and of course the bread of all breads. You can get the recipe for the bread on my Cuisine page!
Love,

POMEGRANATE PLATE
I love the warmth of this ancient fruit and tried to capture it by using a warm undertone as well as warm high lights. This little work is latest in a series of pomegranate paintings which I am studying at present.

MARAAI SE GRANATE
Maraai is my friend, Mari, who lives here in California, complete with a pomegranate tree in her garden! Not only has she given me the fruit and the stand for Christmas, but also her mom, Berna, as a friend to me, for whom this painting was done. She will be taking it with her, when she leaves for South Africa tomorrow, where she lives in Blouberg Strand! I am blessed to have them both in my life and so happy to have been able to give Berna this painting as a small appreciation for being the special mother of my dear friend Maraai.
