ROSES IN MASON JARS

SOLD

This is a very special rendering of a couple of my mason jars filled with rose clippings from my garden. Love the way is brightens up my kitchen, house and canvas!

VASE VIOLET

SOLD

I am so besotted with this little purple vase that I bought from the thrift a year or two ago. And as I have mentioned in a previous post, I would eat purple if I could! Just something about the reflections of the light through this vase that brings this entire painting together.

CHATEAUX WINDOW

SOLD

CHATEAUX WINDOW is all about my taste in interiors..if only I could live in one! I tried to capture the light as well as possible by contrasting cooler purples with warmer yellows.

FRENCH CHAIR

SOLD

 was attracted by this scene for it's warm, mellow colors. The work station at a window and of course lovely light streaming through a window!

ROOSTAFEL

SOLD

So, here's another beautiful afternoon sun coming through the kitchen window painting!
Love the light through the old green vase, the same color as my Ouma's kitchen...and all of God's beautiful roses captured on my kitchen table!

LATE AFTERNOON SUN

SOLD

The late afternoon came dashing through my kitchen window...just when I have to cook and can't just sit and enjoy!! So the other day, I managed to capture one of those fleeting moments, and I must say, I like the immediateness this work!

WATERMELON MEDLEY

SOLD

Watermelon must be one of the best parts of summer and nothing so perfectly beautiful to paint than a juicy piece of watermelon, let alone a medley of watermelon!

LEMONS AND ROSES

SOLD

California has some of the most beautiful roses I have ever seen and these are currently growing in the garden!

FRENCH TOPIARY

SOLD

The light just happened to stream through the window and caught the golden urn with topiary above my fireplace when luckily my eye caught it in time to paint it!
Love the simplicity, warmth and overall sense of peacefulness of this painting!

GINGER'S LIVING ROOM

SOLD

This is the second painting for the same client who wanted the Dining Room scene in the previous post. I love how this one has turned out! I really had a lot of fun creating this one and tried my best to capture it as close to the original...

....without if being too realistic.

Let me know if you would like me to do a scene from you house! Simply go to my Etsy Store and put in a request!

GINGER'S DINING ROOM

SOLD

This is the first of two paintings of a clients home. She placed an order on my Etsy store for a special commission. This painting will hang with the next one in her bedroom. I love the fact that she is using spaces in her home for her home!

JUST PICKED LEMONS

SOLD

I had just picked these lemons and was looking for a place to put it...and low and behold, there were the roses of the other day still in the purple vase, in the sun, on the sill! And since I had just unpacked a box kitchen stuff, I came across this beautiful purple glass bowl I had bought at the thrift some time ago!
I love the purples and yellows, the warmth and coolness, the play of light but mostly the JUST PICKED LEMONS!

MACKIE'S MEMORIES

SOLD

I have just arrived back from a trip to South Africa, where a dear friend commissioned me to do a painting of all the special things she had gotten from the 4 men in her life, her husband and 3 sons!
This is a beautiful setting on her fabulous French style dining table complete with fresh lemons from her garden, which I must add, has a view of my beloved Table Mountain!
