Artist Highlight - Jean Whysall, Durban North -KZN



To see Jean's garden...is to know why she paints as she does - capturing the very essence of nature in all its glory!!

Jean's appreciation for all things 'bright and beautiful..." is evident in every painting - these few photos will bear testament to that!

Jean's as direct in her reason for painting as she is in the selection of her subjects...to quote:


" I started art lessons about 25 years ago when my children were at school and I had my mornings free. I was very soon completely 'hooked' and have loved every minute of this wonderful hobby. Regular themes include scenes of Greece, France, Italy - the cafe scenes, umbrellas, harbours and flower sellers provide exciting subjects! I am currently enjoying more South African landscape and admire the work of Errol Boyley and Anton Benzon. I paint mainly in oils; but enjoy the freedom of acrylics for their more modern and vibrant feel"
