TITLE : FREEDOM
MEDIUM : ACRYLIC ON PANEL
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. We both took the same course in Portrait painting using oil paint and then I also started going to art classes fortnightly. I enjoy painting with oils and also with a fair amount of detail. Painting is really relaxing and enjoyable. Norman Zuithoff.

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.
