About "Ndebele man"

The young man had just completed his initiation, and is dressed in traditional Ndebele beadwork for the celebrations that follow. He and his fellow initiates were dignified and proud of their new status in the community. The beadwork is usually made by the womenfolk in the family. Because his family live on our farm, we were invited to the celebrations. I painted this portrait from photographs that I'd taken during the day's festivities.

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.
