Everyday Art: labyrinth of life.

Size: 15X11cm: Pen, watercolour and gold glitter: Shell (perlemoen) inspired.


Life is a Labyrinth

When looking at the lines and shapes of this shell
I saw the winding pattern of the labyrinth. 
I think I have labyrinths on the brain. 

I like to think that we all have our own personal labyrinth to follow; 
they come in every design. 
Maybe through the years our own one changes when going through different challenges. 

I think I rarely come to dead ends only difficult corners.  
I sometimes have difficulty seeing the corner
and run smack into the wall before realizing it.

Everyday Art: A warm winter's day


Size: 17cm X 8.5cm
Pen and Watercolour

In this little painting
I have tried to capture a sense of warmth and brightness.
As I mentioned in my profile 

I like to communicate through the creative medium.
I enjoy winter because here in the Cape the weather can be quite changeable: cold, windy and wet, sometimes stormy, 

and at other times the days can be warm and sunny.
 A warm winter’s day has a soft glow about it.
While I love the storms and the rain
 the sunny days are my favourite,
they make me feel good;
warm right down into the centre of my being.


What type of weather do you like?
Tell me why.
