Sketchbook planning 

The canvases have arrived, still wrapped in cardboard and plastic as I wander google earth to retrace our journey from Namibia to Cape Town. The remembered roads. Vistas, space and the sheer expanse of being present within that everchanging landscape. My eyes ravished each curve in the road as the colours rushed by... into me and through me. 

It is early morning, just after midnight. But there is neither light nor power to paint by... and my journey begins online. So deep my gratitude for the art commissions and sales from Doringbos that has made the opportunity for a new collection possible. 

I think that as artists, our work is never done. Each sale, an opportunity to paint more :) 

But here where I am, waiting for sun... the works begin in scratches and sketches.

Deep my delight, as I enter this new phase of work. 

I am a peregrine soul soaring, the lands beneath my wings and the skies above. I can go where there are no roads at the click of my mouse. Absorbing the beauty. From this vantage point, I can imagine what the lands were before humanity. Although, I rather love the patterns of fields from above, the river roads.
