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!

This is lovely Maree. Living on a smallholding is absolutely the best and I'm so jealous. Birds are very precious and feeding them every morning is my welcome mat to my little garden.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks all. And Liz, isn't it amazing how they become used to the routine? I just step into the garden with the yellow jug, and suddenly the trees are full of life and many little eyes are keenly watching my every move as I fill the bird feeders.
