The corner plot

W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm

Not far from us on the plots in El Jessee (Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa) quickly referred to by some as LJC plots! is a smallholding known as “the corner plot”. It is well-known for its seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables which are available direct from the owners. And if what you are looking for is not in their store room, they send someone to pick it for you direct from the lands.

I go to Nature...

... to be soothed and healed . and to have my senses put in order 

These earrings have been SOLD - thank you Debbie!

Hook Earrings from my 'Earth' range of jewellery. Inspired by my White Karee (Rhus viminalis) tree, the leaf is crafted from copper with patina (I use BlackIt) added for a vintage look with White Karee seed-pod earring, an Indian Silver bauble hanging from a short chain. Displayed on a large Rose Quartz crystal.

Hand-crafted from copper and silver solder . the copper assists in energy flowing more freely

W&N watercolour on Amedeo 200gs multi-media paper 

So far we've been experiencing a very hot summer here in Tarlton (south Africa), with temperatures deep into the 30's Celsius. If I want to do any gardening, it starts at about 6am and the rest of the day I spend in my studio, in front of the aircon, painting.
