About "Source of Life"

Reflections have always amazed me. Perhaps I have the mind of a child sometimes. Water is clear, yet when the light is right, whatever happens above the water will be shown in it. Like a mirror. I think it is an amazing wonder of nature and I will always be in awe of it. When I painted these zebras, I was very eager to get to the reflections in the water, and I thoroughly enjoyed painting it! South Africa is an source of abundant wild life, this watering hole is sometimes the only reprieve for animals in the heat. The water a source of life. This Zebra's an example of animals gathering at their source of life, capturing a remarkable images of Africa and its majestic beauty.

About Elaine

I often choose a subject that evokes a feeling of nostalgia or a childhood memory. Interesting people or places are a great inspiration. After visiting a new place in our lovely country or abroad, I usually feel the need to create a new body of work. New subjects are always discovered during my travels.
I usually start out with sketching the composition and then decide on the colour range. I enjoy starting with the darkest tone values first, as I can determine the contrasts that I am aiming for. Although this gives me some kind of idea of where the painting might go, it is never a given and the painting always evolves on its own. There are times when I enjoy using a limited palette and other times I might use brighter or subdued colours. Oils are definitely my preferred medium!
Rembrandt and Monet are my two great influences. I always admire their works, Monet for his loose technique as an impressionist and Rembrandt for his attention to detail.
I feel that each artwork is very personal. Real Art is probably the only remaining thing that is not mass produced. Creating something that has never been created and never will be created again is an awesome feeling. I always hope to get that feeling to my buyers.
