Sandy Boltman - Umhlanga

Sandy has been painting for a number of years now, in fact, ever since she came to South Africa form Singapore in 1994.

Sandy has a quiet, gentle and peaceful disposition which is clearly reflected in her work.....whether it be in the tranquil watercolours or the colourful oils that she paints.

I asked Sandy why she paints - she had this to say, " ...because I enjoy the creativity of it and it
makes me relax..." - sounds like a good enough reason to me!!






All paintings posted here - the oils: Palm I & II, Fruit in abstract;Girl with Hat;Girl with Bow; Baby in Bonnet and the watercolour "Early Morning Mist" will be on the exhibition.

Jean Whysall - Durban North

I am delighted that Jean will be participating again and as always, her work is inspiring!! With just enough attention to detail without overworking it....


The two oils on canvas that are posted here - Cape Cottages (landscape) and Spring (floral) will be on the exhibit.



The post will be edited should Jean have more work completed.

ARTIST - Brian Wastie - Leisure Bay

I am so pleased to introduce Brian's work to the SmArt Art blog - finding a new talented artist who is committed to excellence is always so encouraging!!

Brian has been actively involved in the world of Art and Photography for over 20 years. He is also quite a computer fundi and enjoys using these skills to manipulate selected media (photography/paint/pastels) to create his unique pieces. His technique could almost described, one could say, as one of cause and effect...................

I asked Brian to sum up why he does what he does - he was to the point about it, a characteristic that is key in his overall approach.

"The reason I do my Art is because I enjoy Photography and with all this new technology to blend the two it's very rewarding - at what one can achieve,...."

Brian will be exhibiting these three canvasses - Elephant (looking after a baby), Impala (licking) and the Squirrels -on the forthcoming exhibition.

I look forward to Brian's future contributions!!
