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!

Same here!! Lovely art!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz, but I hear another cold front is coming on the weekend!
DeleteThis is fantastic Maree! I really love your style and I'm admiring the simplicity you achieved... and how very effective it is to create the serene, inviting mood of the scene. I have to learn the fine art of restraint, and not put so many lines all over the place when I draw with the pen. You have just the right amount of line to balance the color. Well done! I love this piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks ever so much Katherine! It's a new mission I'm on, using fewer lines, I also just LOVE fiddling and can carry on with that pen for hours! I almost put lots of trees in the back-ground , my hand was absolutely itching to carry on! Smile!
