Charcoal, 56×30cm
My mother as a young woman. From a reference photo taken in the Free State, South Africa in the early 40’s
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.

Great job, Jolante. I Guess you have captured the 40’s very well in this one. It is always a pleasure to see your new, outstanding work!
Thanks so much Jos! I don’t have a painting ready so decided to load one of my drawings…

Love the quick sketch attitude of your charcoal work. And her expression is darling. You seem to have chosen the perfect medium to project this vintage portrait.
I appreciate your thoughtful words, thanks so much!
