Location: South Africa

I live in the Western Cape of beautiful South Africa. Although we live in turbulent times, I still find this one of the most stunning places on this earth.
I am now 52 and have taken up watercolour art after about 30 years of not doing any art except the occasional sketches and odd requests from friends and family.
I find this an exciting medium.
I enjoy painting wildlife and people especially.

South African Wildlife

We have an abundance of wildlife in South Africa. Luckily there is a huge drive to preserve and protect it. Unfortunately there is still a lot of poaching happening.
