After the storm #680


Daily painting #680 5"x7" oil on primed canvas 

Last night we experienced the mother of all storms!!! This morning we are waking to the news of flooded homes and swimming pools, collapsed walls, trees down and a friend's house (she lives more north) was struck by lightening! Thank goodness our home is fine and we experienced no water damage but all this in the midst of one of the most severe draughts we have had in ages. It literally never rains but pours! It is beautiful however to wake up to the smell of wet grass and the sight of rain clouds still hovering above and while I hope we have not seen the last of the rain, I am having a giggle. The Shedlocks are going camping...that must be why we are having rain! While I grew up camping and love it, it is not my husband's favourite way to holiday but I am dragging them off to the beautiful Drakensberg mountains camping, regardless. Can you imagine if we have rain for days? While it will be wonderful for our draught stricken province, my husband on the other hand will not be a happy camper!

Roses for Easter #679


Daily painting #679 8"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

This is my last week of painting classes before the Easter break. One of my students (yes it's Kate if you read my last rose post)  gave me these two beautiful roses for me to enjoy over the Easter break! I wish I could share with you the beautiful scent in my studio! The perfume is gorgeous, if only I could bottle it up! We have given up sugar in this house (all forms of sugar) so being gifted heady scented roses for Easter as opposed to chocolate bunnies and eggs does it for me...and they are  definitely around for longer than those bunnies and eggs would have lasted in this house in the past!
