Charcoal / soft pastel / oil pastel sketches

I'm doing a very brief series of sketches.... just for the fun of it.

A purple fairy...

Started my first fairy painting in oil.... first layer done, so many ideas though of how to finalise the background... time will tell what I decide :-)

I love the way this turned out... makes a lovely gift for little girls ;-)

Black and white oil painting for Mynie de la Rey

I've been asked to do my first black and white oil painting... don't understand why I'm so nervous each and every time I take on new work...

The first layer is done... now just needs to dry before I can move on.

So this was my first black and white portrait and rather more challenging in my mind than a colour portrait!

A3 Pencil sketch for Leana Rudolph Smit

Leana requested I do a sketch of her son... and was very pleased with the final product.
It is so gratifying to have a happy client!

Thanks for again approaching me to do a sketch Leana...

you have a beautiful daughter!

Photoboads for Children's parties

I recently painted a photoboard for my daughter's 3rd birthday... clearly it was a Tinkerbell theme.

I'm considering hiring out boards or selling them should the request arise.

Please contact me for pricing.

Minature portrait of my great grandparents

This tiny painting... roughly 20cm x 15cm is of the MOST amazing people... my great grandparents... both lived to be in their 90's - they had a genuine kindness and modesty and LOVE for each other with such mutual respect and I miss them dearly.

I decided to give my gran a personalised Christmas gift this year by giving her this painting of her parents :-)

Finally, the portrait is complete!!
