The problem is that we can’t stop even if we wan The problem is that we can’t stop even if we wanted to. Here I am with @the_lizels on the morning of my departure for Gauteng and we’re showing what we’re up to while we’re supposed to “rest”. Both are works in progress and we’re still figuring out their outcomes and solutions. #artinprogresss #artists #artprocess #fibreart #pastelart #softsculpture #landscape

But what is “normal”? I slipped in an “unidentified flying object” in the skies above the pool of water, and that’s why, Lizel says, she likes it. Because it’s different. Thank you for supporting me, @the_lizels and for all the other atists who did like-wise at this year’s Klein Karoo National Arts Festival. The amount of support I received from fellow artists through sales (and other more ephemeral stuff) was absolutely amazing. What a generous and encouraging environment to be in, and, I think, unique to the world of mid-career visual artists. You’re a jolly old lot. Hooray to the artists of the world! Thanks Lizel and @alexyaya51 for your hospitality and for letting me into your lives. My time with you was unforgettably special. You are a pair of bright shining stars. 💚 #ufo #alienspacecraft #landscapeart #strangerthanfiction #pastelart #bushveld #waterhole #chalkpastel #artistsareamazing
