Oil on canvas, 40×40cm
Lancelot works at Jopasso Guest House in South Africa. He was a pleasure to paint. He is a natural ‘poser’, quite handsome and somehow, he lives up to his name.
He is a curious mix of confidence, cockiness and innocence.

Some years ago I survived a serious attack on my life. During the year of recovery, I did two drawings and found the activity both calming and exciting.
I am studying under Leon Fourie, Danie de Wet and Gillian Taylor.
I have simplified my life completely and now paint full time.

Art for me, is an intensely personal expression of how I appreciate and perceive life and people.

    Another fabulous portrait Jolante – what was his reaction when he saw it??

  • Thank you very much Lynda. He will see it this morning, so I do not know what his reaction is yet.
