birds of a feather...

I have been everywhere and nowhere altogether the past two months. 'Migrating' into a new house and working hard to turn it into our new home. The art now takes place in my very own new proper home-studio, overlooking my beautiful garden surrounded by huge trees.

And because of the trees, we have the BIRDS! Joy!

I am keen on doing commissions, so contact me any time: ingriduys@yahoo.com



"Wie kan die wolke tel..."

A commission I did recently...

(I do LOVE swallows and clouds!)



trees of life

This morning the message in church said words matter, words have the power to give life, words show the world what is in your heart. Words are like the fruits of a tree, a tree of good or evil, a tree of life...

Anyway, so I did this commission for this beautiful new office building for GL Projects and Services. And I painted trees...

‘Waar is die pad na die oorsprong van lig…’ Job38:24

‘In the beginning…’ Gen1:1

painting my wedding...

These details made me smile.

Paintings of a picture-perfect day.



And my super stunningly beautiful sister as my bridesmaid... (The bird added by me because I love painting birds)

New Beginnings

New Years Resolution for 2012:

Weekly Blog Update...

(Hope I can keep this one!)

It has been such a beautiful busy time, always a wonderful blessing for a 'struggling artist'.

My fascination with the grey feathered friends continues..

I am currently exploring the love-hate relationship between photography and painting. Examining and experimenting with painting's capacity to revise or revisit, even enhance the capturing of a fleeting moment..

The first in a new body of work, exploring the intricate relationship between painting and photography. Entertaining the idea of capturing moments, re-introducing perspective and revisiting memory.

(Soon to be exhibited... Watch this space...)
