About "Ndebele home"

About 2 kilometres from our farm is the home of Martiens Masilele of the Ndebele nation. Their homes are traditionally painted with colourful patterns. The women of the house are the artists, and each home varies according to the artists favourite patterns and colours. I loved the peaceful setting, the unhurried atmosphere of the place and tried to capture it here.

About Jeanette

I painted and illustrated for the advertising industry until my first solo exhibition in 1990. Subsequently I've been painting in oils, watercolours and pastels for exhibitions and commissions. I also illustrate children's books, the most recent being a children's fairy book written by long-time friend Margaret Roberts.
Portraits are one of my favourite expressions in painting. Being able to capture the personality of the person and transfer it onto canvas is a real challenge and, for me, one of the most rewarding of all the aspects of painting. I do accept commissions for portraits.
