CHARACTER FROM OUDTSHOORN

My brother was on holiday visiting our family in South Africa and he took a photo of this ostrich at Oudtshoorn.

Oudtshoorn is the "ostrich capital of the world", is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, located to the south of the Outeniqua Mountains.

It was a direct connection to my eagerness to paint it. Just that facial expression!

NON VERBAL

Hard to catch this painting in a photo, I had to leave an edge around the sides to include all details. 'My' animal in this abstract is the dolphin who are so perfect in nonverbal communication by means of touch and posturing. Used lines, waves, cells and colors which touch the human mind and place it into a good space of recognition.
