76x61cm. Griff peering out from behind bright green bushes.A scene looking out at some taxis from Main Road, Cape Town. A
rainy day provided the perfect road reflections for an interesting
composition. The side mirror was included because I loved the rear
reflections, in particular the way the car lights bounced all over.This was a scene at Simon's Town in Cape Town, South Africa. I loved juxtaposition of the sea, sky, road, and wall before the train tracks below.

Size: 30x40cm (A3)Lesley Eating an Apple. Acrylic on canvas, 30x40cm.
The shadows of the figure on the dark wall contrasted with the bright colours of the room's interior inspired this piece. A reflection on the casual nature of eating an apple while talking about her day.Late autumn scene of a figure gazing by a tree. The colour of the clothes made for a great juxtaposition to the vibrant reds of the leaves on the tree. I went for a more expressive, vibrant and rougher style to capture the mood of the scene.
View Over Chapel at Simon's Town. I was visiting Simon's Town, in Cape Town, and was struck by the colour scheme of the sky. It was broody, and quite similar in shade to the rest of the scene and the roof of a naval museum and chapel clocktower below.Wine and snacks. Acrylic on canvas, 30,5x40,5cmSpinning Vinyl.
