This is an acrylic painting I did a couple of years ago in South Africa, now in my wife’s private collection :) Lets try to keep these amazing cats sleeping peacefully under the stars for as long as possible.

This image grew organically from the “Chiefs wife”. I was thinking of the regal aloof nature of the African queen, which I had drawn earlier and then I thought of the scary twighlight world of the Sangoma, or witchdoctor, in juxtapostion to this calmer world. Sort of like the yin/yang, good and evil aspects that co-exist within each of us.

As some of you know I am having a bit of a pre new-year overhall today. I found this among some of my work. I thought I would share it. It’s very rare, because I only did about 3 artworks between 1997 and 2006 (LOL – seriously)! This work was done in mixed medium and happened when a friend suggested I try get back into creating artwork, so here it is! Needless to say I am very grateful to my friend who got me back into my passion! Thanks Shaun.

We are not the only creatures on earth. We share our world with other beings of various shapes and sizes. Many live in far different habitats than ours. / Whether wild and free or members of our households a world without animals would be a far lonier and less interesting place . Zebras are one of my favourite animals , it was a delight creating this. / This one is an original acrylic painting on cardboard (sold).

The story of this painting… / “My childhood in South Africa was on my mind while I painted this landscape. If you have ever been to Africa, you may appreciate why I titled this painting “Veld Storm”... In summer there are afternoon thunderstorms… the sky turns a vivid blue, yet the sun still shines on the land – accentuating the colours. This is a reflection of that time.” / The wonderful thing about afternoon thunderstorms in Africa is that while they are strong they are also brief, and in their wake the sun always comes out again, exploding the sky with the most magnificent sunset as it hits the dissipating storm. I feel the vividness and colours that I have used in this artwork more than adequately depicts this moment in time in Africa. Acrylic On Canvas – 120cm x 40cm

“Like a dead weight we are held seperate by circumstance.” / This painting is about feeling homesick, missing Cape Town, Table Mountain, Family and Friends whom some I have found and some who remain long lost. Acrylic on Canvas

This painting was created with interior house paint on canvas / H26” x W50” / Black Matte Gallery Frame / 2007 / 1800.00 “Faceless,” is dedicated to all the woman and girls who suffer injustices all over the world, and remain faceless to world. Although I created this image in 2007, and had titled it “Girls,” I didn’t fully realize what it meant until just this week. In the news, a husband kills his wife, by placing a plastic bag over her head, hangs her, and flees with the three children after countless please for help to local authorities. A father is convicted of keeping his daughter locked up as a sex slave for 24 years. Daughter now 42. Many females are enslaved, murdered, raped, tortured all over the world, and many more will remain faceless to us. Stop, think, and listen.

June 2007 I’m on a roll with mixed mediums! This one is a mix of calico, hessian, shellac, paints, string… I have tried to capture the essence and textures of Africa… It smells like Africa funny enough, could be attributed to the sage burning at the time of creation. Look out for the symbols… Table Mountain, Tribal Patterns, The bushveld, animals and animal totems. x Carmen
