“Peony” Oil on canvas, 60cm x 91cm, available. I’ve been a bit quiet here, oops, sorry. 😬Lockdown has been a great no distractions excuse to get a lot of things done, including a new commission that I’m working on. Can’t wait to share more. 🌿👀 Keep an eye out in the next coming days. 🤸🏼‍♀️🌳 . . . #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #floralpainting #flowerpainting #botanicalart #southafricanartist #womenwhopaint #pinkflowers #lockdownlife #painteveryday #instaart #pink #nodistractions #lockdown #contemporaryart (at Somerset West, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-27nWyH8HN/?igshid=ltobqnah4d2c

Almost there!!! Loadshedding (power cuts) the last few nights slowed me down a bit, but it won’t get me down! #workinprogress #paintinginprogress #proteapainting #red #oilpainting #flowerpainting #protea #loadshedding #floralart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rfUg3HReT/?igshid=r55g2cj79404

Slowly making progress. Spent some time working on the leaves at the bottom of this painting yesterday. Today I made some good progress on the floret, the inner part. Hopefully I can finish at least that bit tomorrow. #workinprogress #wip #floralart #protea #flower #proteapainting #realismpainting #detail #artistsoninstagram #artinprogress #latenightpainting (at Somerset West, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aWO53ntYr/?igshid=61q2bgwmnaxf

Quick little time lapse video of the start of some hairy detail. I work very wet on wet, using a lot of linseed oil as medium to make it easier to get the paint to move. After this I’ll go in again when it is dry and add another layer of detail on top creating more depth with lowlights and highlights. #timelapse #floralpainting #oilpainting #oilpaintingtutorial #detail #paintingdetail #floralart #protea #proteapainting #paintingtimelapse (at Somerset West, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Jx7z0nwbq/?igshid=19m0nzfnw9vf8

Slowly adding detail on this newest painting. I’ll try and make a little video tomorrow of how I do the little hairy details. #workinprogress #wip #floralpainting #protea #proteapainting #southafricanart #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #floralart #painting (at Somerset West, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HrhEGH4wg/?igshid=gdhq59brv66j
