Inspiration SA

It is very difficult to actually pinpoint that specific one thing that inspires me the most.

the student artists

To pop into the local art galleries is a favorite, of mine . It is not only to see the artist work on exhibition, but also to visit the gallery owners, who top up my cup with all the latest news and information circulating in my area.

Once every month- I plan a trip down the east coast, with friends. We look for new galleries while visiting the well known galleries.

No matter how good an artists you are, no matter how well your doing, there is always someone who teaches you something new.

Almost every art class taught me something about art or about myself.. The fun part is that I learn so much more from being a teacher through facing questions that artists face every day.

 The old Masters

When I need inspiration, I make myself a strong cup of tea and settle down with a hard cover -on one of the old masters..... a little history of art.

Weather it be an old master in particular or a whole movement in art, is irrelevant. There is always a lost muse waiting for me somewhere between the pages.

In memory of Gilroy van der Merwe * EPSAC

The South African sunlight is a muse in it’s own right.

Algoa Bay sailing

The Algoa Bay Yacht Club

in Port Elizabeth...

is also a lovely quiet place to relax and enjoy the company of so many friends.

I often hold art workshops with other artists, but also enjoyed a few quiet afternoons sketching the boats and people

To me, the yachts are flat-lets and holiday homes.

The entire atmosphere is electric before a race, regatta or just an afternoon sail.

Other than the regular wild life, The club is also shadowed by fishing boats to the left of the dry docks and the Ore Birth, to the right.
