“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
Botanical Butterflies - "Double Feature"
I am a watercolorist living on my little piece of African soil in Ballito, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The inspiration for my art is the wonderfully rich variety of Fauna and Flora to be found throughout this beautiful country.

About me
This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realise it is play. The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That’s all there ever is. I’m here to tell you that the path to peace is right there, when you want to get away. When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life. That is very serious!

Beautiful..Beautiful ...and again Beautiful. Wonderful work Maree.
ReplyDeleteThank you Crista. You really love your butterflies, don't you? I'm in the process of selling all the butterfly studies, really exciting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Maree! I don't know why people kill caterpillars when they turn into such beautiful butterflies. And I absolutely love your horses.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz. And most of the caterpillars are so beautiful as well. At the moment my Butterfly bushes are covered in caterpillars - and luckily not many of the birds like the hairy morsels!
