It's Thursday already.....

I have had a short holiday, and it was GREAT.  Jolandi's birthday was on Saturday and I arranged a nights accommodation at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice .  It was amazing and we were really spoiled.  I really love visiting hotels, you get so spoiled with the beautiful surroundings, the service, the comfort, it feels like a mini-holiday.
My favourite hotels definitely are in the Protea Group - Crystal Towers at the top.
There are so many more that I have not seen yet, but definitely in the near future.
Of course, I unfortunately did not get any time to paint during my holiday, which I really thought I would....but I have a lot of ideas for new canvasses, so  I can't wait to get started.
I end off with a quote on our email signatures for work:
"In this life we cannot do great things.  We can only do small things with great love".....Mother Theresa

Waterverf 2011

Dit voel soos verewig dat ek laas aktief op my blog gewerk het, en dit is omtrent.  Nege maande om presies te wees, en ek wonder waar die tyd heen gevlieg het.  Ek het my besig gehou met waterverf intussen en ek is mal daaroor.  Ek het nog soveel om te leer, en ek toets en verf en dit raak darem beter.  My pogings begin na iets te lyk.  My fotos is nie waffers nie. Ek sukkel nog met die flash en die glas in die raam, daar is alewig 'n dofheid, 'n groot ligkol....maar ek sal dit nog betermaak.

Hierdie fotos moet eenvoudig solank gelaai word vir my vriendin Christina.....anders gaan ek Maandag les opsê want ekt belowe om dit te laai!!  Ek het dit uiteindelik geraam ook nadat ek 'n baie bekostigbare omie ontdek het... So hier is 'n paar geraamde pogings....nog nie finaal nie, en ek sal nog beter fotos neem, hierdie keer in daglig.
