China rose #367


Daily painting #367. 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

Something you may not know about me is that when my children were born I gave up full time teaching for a long time. Not being one to sit around and do nothing, my Mum and I started up a business called Shedlock House Interiors from some beautiful old out buildings from our home in Kloof (a suburb inland from Durban centre). We moved from that house almost 9 years ago but running Shedlock House Interiors with my mum was so much fun. We would trawl the antique markets and auction houses in search of treasures. We would buy up bits and pieces and old furniture which we would recover and restore with a shabby chick vintage look. Last week my mum found a box with a pile of old, beautiful plates. It must have been part if an auction lot we purchased way back then. Well I was delighted to rescue them from the dust and I now have some more interesting little treasure cluttering my studio which no doubt will find their way into my little paintings....
