Bears Crafty Day

On Saturday we had a "Bears Crafty Day" at our house. I displayed my paintings, jewellery and painted cloths (see pic of Helmine and Stefan with their purchase). Bear did his Padded Picture Frames, Sam her Honey jewellery, Ireen and her Journals and Note Pads and Pencil Pots, while Peggy attended to her Jean Guthrie Beauty Care Table. We had great support from friends and we sold well with other business being generated. Bear seemed to be making his Bearochino's all day. He was pretty wide eyed by the end of the day, drinking the dregs of the coffee after every batch he made. See pic(above) of my watercolours and my handmade jewellery (which I taught Bear how to make as well).

My Latest Painting

Well, I was blessed, my latest painting got sold while the paint was still drying...well, nearly, by about two days anyway. Thanks to Jean for purchasing it. It is a Cape seascape. The sea is reference from one picture and the foreground from another. I liked elements of both so I combined them. Oil and canvas.

Fire Sunset

Just finished a 'Firescape' oil. The sunset made the sky look like fire, and with the silhouette of the tree in front of the scene, it also looked on fire, I had to capture it. I painted this for Cheyne, as a present to hang in her new house.

The3 little oils

I've posted  Pauline's miniatures. See below!  They were done in oil on Supa-wood.

Pauline's ' Miniatures'

I finished the three little' miniatures' (about A6 size). They seem just as hard as painting a large canvas!
They look good. Will post them soon.

My Karoo House Painting

I finshed my little Karoo house oil. Was a challenge filling in grass where there was a road, it seemed to work alright. See pic below.
