W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
I yearn to keep walking, keep drawing and keep discovering life along the way.

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¿¸.•*

A Windpomp and a gate
W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
A familiar sight in South Africa – a windmill drawing the life blood from the earth.
Water availability has shaped life and society in many ways, with aridity shaping the landscape and soils and determining where we live, grow our crops, raise animals and build our cities. Without these wind pumps, farming, and life in general, would not be possible in the more arid parts of our country.

Waiting for the rain
W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
The fields are quiet, the lands are empty – oh, for the sound of rain!
Summer has hit with a vengeance - Spring was short-lived and after freezing temperatures, we went straight into 30℃ heat.

Winter is golden
W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
Winter is always depicted in cold colours of blue and grey, but here in South Africa, cold as it is, the sun is shining on a bright brown, yellow and green landscape. The only time we have blues and greys is in summer when it is raining!
