Berry breakfast #560

Daily painting #560 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel 

I have been reading 'Art before breakfast' by Danny Gregory. It's a really inspiring read on how to incorporate art into our busy daily lives. So I got painting early this morning with a little share from my breakfast bowl...

Early on the East Coast #559

Daily painting #559 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel

Back to the East Coast and the beautiful early morning sky! I think my bedroom must have one of the best early morning views and I am always so grateful that I am an early riser! 

Simply the best time of the day....

One bite #558

Daily painting #558 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

Back home to my happy place, my studio and my trusty oil paint! Squeezing out oil paint again is just sheer joy to my soul! Deciding what to paint was another story as the cupboards where empty! I often end up painting that which I cook but there was not a thing to cook in the house! The boys hardly look malnourished but I am not quite sure what they have been surviving on while I was away! A big trip to the grocery store is in order! We have had a fabulous trip away but being home with my whole family together again is just the best!

Bye Cape Town #557

Daily painting #557 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook NFS

Always sad to say goodbye to this beautiful city! It's been awesome catching up with family and it's been a special trip with my Mum and my daughter...the two most special ladies in my life! But tonight we are homeward bound and I can't wait to see the boys! My husband and son stayed behind because my son Ross is playing in a hockey festival. I have missed them both so much and can't wait to see them! I also can't wait to squeeze out some oil paint again too!

Penguin #556

Daily painting #556 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook NFS

Cape Town is breathtakingly beautiful! We went up Table Mountain today, drove along Chapmans peak and took my daughter to Boulders Beach to see the Penguins. Such a scenic coastline! Below is a photo of Boulders beach well known for the population of penguins that live there.

From the train #555

Daily painting #555 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook NFS

We took a train from Muizenberg to Simons Town today. It was a huge novelty for my daughter...in Durban we would never catch a train, it's simply not safe! The coastline is so beautiful and you get such a great view from the train!

West Coast Starfish #554

Daily painting #554 pen and watercolour from my sketchbook

We travelled up the West Coast to a little place called Veldrift to visit my aunt and uncle. We stopped along the way at some of the popular tourist destinations like Langebaan and Paternoster. The image below is from Paternoster a little fishing village which has become very popular with tourists and sadly is starting to loose some of its rural charm, although still extremely beautiful!
