About "Still Life With Hibiscus"

A group of friends & fellow artists have started meeting together to set up & paint still life- something I have tended to avoid mostly. So it had been a good discipline to get into - started with the 'coffeepot, then bread & honey, then blue bottle & lemons and latest one is the hibiscus & pomegranates. We start painting at 2.00pm and try to complet within the 2---3 hours of the Saturday afternoon - trying to free up technique & work quicker, besides helping each other at the same time. This one is my favorite so far - has freedom of movement, vibrancy of colour and was completed in about 4 hours.

About Alyson

I appreciate all facets of life, the beauty of creation in all its diversity- so paint people (expressive faces & those that tell a story) flowers, landscapes, cats are a particular love also. Enjoy colour & texture, so oils is preferred medium though have worked in acrylic & watercolor, as well as sculpture in clay. Have been commissioned to do murals, landscapes again with the feeling of traveling into the picture. Often have a spiritual message in the subject matter and have written short notes as I have meditated on the artwork afterward. Being creative is very therapeutic for me and I know others that it has helped to be set 'free', so believe in the means of expressing one's inner self.

Exhibitions

December 2000 -1st Solo, then each year thereafter joint exhibitions at Hermanus Art Society, Vermont Art Circle and with Group of 12 Women artists (Book Club) The latter ones generally with a theme & in 2008 exhibited "Miniatures". Have participated in various exhibitions in & around Hermanus & Somerset West over the years.Completed commissions for Dept of Tourism, Western Cape.. My 2nd solo exhibition was held at Bellini Gallery, Main Road, Hermanus with the theme "People & Places" My main emphasis was to paint portraits of the people with whom I worked daily plus friends in the community on Volmoed where I live & work. I was able to bless the staff by giving them their portraits as a Christmas gift - the joy & laughter that brought was very special. The official opening on 3 December was well attended & great fun with several sales also.
As a country member of South African Society of Artists I have participated in numerous exhibitions and Art in the Park opportunities. My 3rd Solo was held at The Mission's House Gallery, de Villiers Street, Onrus, called 'TREES'. A series of trees painted from various place I visited over the past 18 months, with some experiments in technique & other media. As part of a group of five, we held an exhibition with the theme "Connections" at Mission's House gallery, Onrus. During the Annual Hermanus FynArts Festival, I have led several workshops & held art exhibitions of works produced by the pupils who attend my Art classes. A commission during 2015, was to paint an 8 metre canvas with one of the Stations of the Cross to be erected with the other 13, in the Human Rights Centre/Palestine Museum in Cape Town. After an interesting and enlightening trip to Palestine in June, I elected to paint "Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem". It has already been on display at a conference in Johannesburg and hopefully the completion of the building & official unveiling of all will take place in next few months.
I continue to have others join me in the Artroom here for advice, guidance, demos & general instruction.
