SIZE : 700 X 550

 TITLE : BRAVE ZAZA ( PORTRAIT )
MEDIUM : ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
SIZE : 500 X 700


 ABOUT THE ARTIST :

I was raised in Namibia and came to live in South Africa at a young age as I was orphaned.

Since I was very young I started drawing and initially took a great interest in pop art. In 2007 I finally took the plunge and started painting full time.  I am entirely self taught and my favourite medium is acrylic.

 All my surroundings have had an influence on my art. I am passionate about wildlife and our beautiful natural surroundings and people.

I currently live on the North Coast of Kwazulu Natal and find the beach a great inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy painting it.

Regards,
Terryll Eloff

ABOUT TE ARTIST :

My wife started painting and it looked like fun. I first painted a few paint by numbers with acrylic paint enjoyed it immensely.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hannelie Zuithoff Kimberley South Africa I started at a very late stage of my life to paint. I was admitted to a Psychiatric Hospital for treatment of Depression. Part of the treatment was creative activities. I learned to do fabric Waterpainting and really enjoyed it a lot. When I was discharged and back at home I just carried on with fabric painting. A friend of mine invited me to Art Classes every second Saturday afternoon. I then started to paint with Acrylic paint on fabric. During a five day course in Portrait Painting by Wiets van Rensburg I started to work on canvasses with Oil Paint. I do prefer to use oil paint on canvases and enjoy doing Landscapes. Painting has become much more than therapy to me. It has become a lifestyle.

MARINA STANDER

TITLE : VILLAGE PEOPLE 
MEDIUM : Watercolour 30X 41 cm

 
TITLE : JEANS PORTRAIT
MEDIUM : INK

 ABOUT THE ARTIST

Marina Stander, born in Zimbabwe (then Southern Rhodesia) in 1954, grew up mostly in Vereeniging in the Vaal Triangle in Gauteng, South Africa. She studied at the University of Pretoria and currently lives in a rural town, Piet Retief, in Mpumalanga, South Africa. 

She is inspired by things that 'speak' to her, something that depicts emotion in some or other way: music, children, hands (she is a music teacher), friends, animals (especially cats) nature and beautiful photographs. She can't get enough of all the beautiful things God has created.

She has always liked creating something, but in the past this was restricted to various small crafts, music and sewing. The urge to paint has lain dormant inside her for many years as she did not want to spend too much time and money on something that she could not share with her totally blind husband. He encouraged
​her to persue this passion, though. There are quite a few artists among her relatives, but she only started art as a hobby after retiring early as a teacher. She took lessons from a local well qualified artist and friend, Mrs Trienkie Bennie, from 2007 to 2010 and has done various online courses with watercolour artist Suset Maakal.  

Marina has tried out many mediums, but enjoys watercolours most, although she works in pastels, charcoal, oils and ink as well. She simply loves what she does. Every time she sells a painting, she feels happy but also sad at losing something dear to her. Her paintings can also be seen at http://www.southafricanartists.com and on Facebook at Marina se kunshoekie.

LEANDRA STANDER

TITLE : FISHERMAN'S COTTAGES
SIZE : 600 X 900
MEDIUM : OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

THE ARTIST:

 Leandra Stander

I was born and bred in Benoni on the East Rand, South Africa. At a younger age, I did some paintings in Watercolors as a hobby, but stopped doing it as I got married and brought up my children. There were just no more time for any hobbies.

I now live in Villiers, which is a small country town in the Free State of South Africa with the Vaal River running on the border of the town. I have started painting again only about a year ago, first in Acrylic and then moved to Oil Medium.  I paint any subject except faces but love doing small fishermen cottages. I find that Oil is a very forgiving medium.  At the moment my painting is still a hobby as I am working full time as a bookkeeper to put food on the table, but I would love to do it full time as it is very therapeutic to me.

I paint under the name of “Ariéla” which is the Hebrew translation of my birth name and means “Lioness of God”.

TITLE :PORTRAIT : GRAND DAUGHTER
MEDIUM : OIL ON CANVAS


 THE ARTIST

 Something about myself.

I was born in picturesque town of Heidelburg in Gauteng. Lived in the West Cape and East Cape for 12 years, moved back to Gauteng, and living here ever sinse and made painting my life
Inspired by the wonder of nature , colour, smell, texture, form etc. urge me to pin it down, either by chisel on wood, or brush on paper! I would love everyone to experience this beauty that is right in front of everyone and yet, not notice by some . Once a person learned to look "up" and not "down" He/she will see the wonder of the world around him/her. If, by the art work I performed , will change this , it would be worth all the hours in front the easel.
Drawing and colouring has been one of my favouriet hobby’s as long as I can remember. And it is now that I would like the world to see the wonder of art.

INA MILLMAN


 Title:  Late Afternoon Tree
Medium:  Oils
Size:   18 x 24 " ( 61 x 46 cm)



PORTRAIT EUNICE
MEDIUM : OIL ON CANVAS
SIZE 50/60 CM


Inspiration:
I love trees and relate to them. More than that, I resonate with the growth and wisdom trees represent. The gnarled branches were formed and sculpted by difficult circumstances - but that is precisely what makes them unique and beautiful... like humans. I am fascinated by the life sheltered and fostered by trees - on their branches and leaves...
This painting embodies 3 important elements for me, namely Trees, Sun and Shade/shadows. 
The Sun magics a mundane subject and transforms it into something beautiful, something awe-inspiring.
Shadows provide contrast and refuge, and lead your eye in...
The spiritual connotation is that, like the tree, we become beautiful when there is a light behind us, shining through us...
