Artist Highlight - Bill Lewthwaite, Westville - KZN












Bill's gentle approach to life is embodied in his work -
refined, uncomplicated - yet soft and detailed....The photos of his work
shown here reflect the depth captured by Bill in each piece.

Bill is as succinct in capturing his subjects as he is in explaining why he paints and how he started..to quote

"I started oil painting in my late sixties and have found an enormous amount of stress just dropped away....
I enjoy painting very much and have now branched out ...using Polycramer (oil based) pencil.

This is an exciting medium as it entails drawing in a very fine/detailed and creative way."

Bill's Koi I & II oil paintings and the Austrian oil pencils will be on exhibit.
