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.

Shhh… germination in progress. Can you hear the swish of the brush, dipping, dipping into water, gathering colour from the palette? That's the process of planting flowers in my watercolour garden. *•.¸ðŸŒ¿¸.•*
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!

Keep discovering life
W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
I yearn to keep walking, keep drawing and keep discovering life along the way.
So beautiful. I feel I never have enough time in a day to paint all that yearns within me. I have been wanting to return to watercolor painting, my favorite, but am so enjoying acrylic on canvas too. Sigh.
Thanks ever so much Kerrie, lovely to see you here! Just love your luminous paintings on Seawashed Studio, your acrylics are great! But looking forward to seeing some watercolours from you!
