Hi Everyone, Almost there... a WIP pic of my latest Cape Town harbour painting - WIP #17. Finished my sky, most of the front, some greys, Sapphire blue mix, whites, aqua, greens and slight mauves to the mountain range. Just need to tinker a bit more. Then work on my water and a bit of fine tuning to the walkway. Calling it day! Would be great if I can finish it up tomorrow!
Hi Everyone, Had a busy week outside the studio, finally got some painting in today...Not as far as I wanted to be, This painting has been a laborious task. Wishing You All a great weekend! 
WIP #16 to share of my Cape Town painting.
Hi Everyone, Its
been a week or so since I worked on my Cape Town painting. I had a bad cold and I
had to completely redo my webpage which was a huge task.
So now finally the past few days I was back at it and painted quite
a bit and got lots of work done today. WIP #13, 14
& 15 to share: just about done with
all the buildings and detail. Few more things to do, then I will work on the
water and the mountains. Its finally coming together.
Hi Everyone,
Lots More painting on my Cape Town harbour painting the past days, Blocking in more Colour some, defining, and outlining, Wip 11&12
Calling it a Day ! Have a love lovely evening everyone. Already dark here at 5:10 pm...
Hi Everyone, Finally back to painting after the big move. So hard to get back into it, but I am finally sitting back in my studio wetting those brushes and working on my Cape Town Painting
Wip #7 and Wip #8. Lots more work done the past 2 days, Feeling more in my groove in a new studio. Got familiar again with my painting, then I added some browns to the mountains, still needs to add lots more greys, blue, tones, etc....just wanted the browns under. Also Worked on the buildings and boats, still lots to do:
Hi Everyone, Finally back in my Studio after a nice Easter Break working on my Cape Town Painting. Started blocking in colour. The boring but essential park, Did some blues, purple and yellows:
Hi Everyone, Finally outlined a wash of Payne's grey on my canvas drawing. Happy that is done! Someone pour me a glass of wine! lolol Going to start with colour blocking next. Have a great day everyone.
Hi everyone, Did some work in my studio today. First I outlined a grid on my sketch first. I wasn't sure I thought about adding in another boat (a sailboat in the forefront along the dock) Added one in roughly in red and for a visual test work. After seeing this example, I don't think this will be a good addition to my painting. It will crowd the front and and take away from my boats/and buildings in back. I will not be adding this other sailboat.
Hi Everyone, Added some colour to my Cape Town V&A Waterfront Sketch. Calling it a day. Off for a nice dinner with our friends tonight. Will be back to work - drawing on canvas on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone.
Hi Everyone, More sketching today. Here is what I am going to go with...I think... lol. I might change my mind. Another scene from "Cape Town - V&A Waterfront with view of Table Moutain" I will try and add some colour tomorrow and then hopefully I can start doing the drawing on the canvas which I is the part I hate! lol
Hi Everyone, I am always impressed with the print quality at Image Kind! The colours are gorgeous and exactly like my original painting :) Makes me happy to see and receive these pics from my customers. Thanks so much to Debbie for the purchase of the 2 prints : ) I appreciate the sale.
Hi Everyone, Feel like I need to start another painting. Been planning my next painting today - think I am going to paint a beautiful scene from Cape Town next. Here is a very rough b&w sketch of one my ideas to come.
Hi Everyone, I finished my latest floral painting. Fresh off my easel! "South African Fire Ball", new floral painting of the red hot aloe pokers in my garden. Now in my funky floral series. Cards and Prints of this painting will be available soon. Thanks for watching my WIP.
Hi Everyone, Did more work today on my Red Hot Aloe Pokers today. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to work on it as much as I would like. H oping I can perhaps finish this week. A pic to share of my WIP progress so far. Wishing You a Great day.
Hi Everyone,
Worked on some sketches today for my next floral painting. Going to do another floral of the beautiful red hot aloe pokers growing at our home here in Johannesburg, South Africa. They bloom about this time every year and are so stunning. Coming from Canada I had never seen them, When I first saw them bloom, I knew I had to paint them. They are just gorgeous and one of my fav plants. They are native to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. I just love them.
Prints of my paintings are also sold at the following Print sites:
