"With each sunrise, we start anew"
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
"Early Morning Landscape" - watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm - 12" x 9" - Maree©
The sun rising gently behind our Blue Gum forest and, with some imagination, the fields are turned into a wonder-wetland.
This painting is one in a series of paintings done by painting directly onto the paper, no sketching done before-hand. Lately I have found that, unless I am doing something very detailed, like the feathers of a bird, I am eager to get the image onto paper or canvass and don't feel like restricting myself with pencil lines.
This painting is for sale on my SALES BLOG.
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!
Very lovely Maree. I love the details and colors.
