New to the SmART ART EXHIBITION and to the blog is Umdloti based artist, Michael Ralfe.
Although, pastels are Michaels' first love - he does not shy away from using other media and will be submitting an acrylic posted above - Homebound - a fresh and simple scene of Nguni and Herders.
Zulu Lady, a pastel - a little difficult to photograph for the purposes of the blog as it has been mounted and framed behind glass
........nontheless this in no way detracts from the regal pose that Michael has captured.
Michael's choice of subjects concurs with the answer he gave me when I asked why he paints what he paints.......
" I am an ex farmer and am passionate about our beautiful environment.." - think that sums it up well!!
Still to be posted - Elephant Advance, a pastel which will also be on exhibit.
