Thank you Christi, appreciate you joining me and I look forward to sharing a little about my oil painting as well as my sketchbooks with you, thank you! 🌸
Hello Heidi, I don’t think I will ever take on oil painting. I have my hands full with water color and goache and mixed media. But I would love to watch you paint with your oil paints!
Thank you so much. Isn’t it wonderful that as artists we have so many exciting options. We are always constant learners. Always something new to learn, so I totally understand how you feel! 😜
So lovely 😊 and peaceful ❤. I’ll trade you weather. Highs near 100 but 109 with the humidity here in Texas. God bless you and your husband on your trip 🙏
Thank you so much! We too have such hot weather in Durban at the coast so it was lovely to enjoy some colder weather and change of season for a change. Hope you have some respite from the heat in Texas soon. Thank you for watching 🌸
Thanks for joining me all the way from Seattle and hope you join me again on more adventures, we have such a beautiful country. I will be heading off to the bush soon and will share a little of it here. We live in an exciting time when it is so easy to connect with others all over the world, thanks for joining me.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us 😊 You were brave to outdoors sketching in the KZN Midlands winter 🥶 I would have been by the fire all weekend 😂
I had what felt like a million layers of clothing on, I could barely bend my arms😂 and my fingers did feel like they were going to fall off by time the wind picked up - I think maybe it helped me to work even quicker and just record what I saw. As you know the Midlands has a beautiful charm in winter and the change in colours from a still green Durban was delightful. Although the best place all weekend was definitely by the fire😜
Then you would recognize many of the names of places in South Africa 😝 Fort Nottingham was set up as the base for the Nottingham Regiment who were sent by Queen Victoria to protect the area from local tribesman. The fort is still there today and the area is known as Nottingham Road. Since this general farming area set slightly up the hill from Pietermaritzburg sits midway between the coast (and the city of Durban)and the Drakensberg mountains (which form the border to our province), the whole area is known as the Midlands. It’s made up of small farming communities and gorgeous little country towns and is a popular tourist route known as The Midlands Meander. Hope you get to visit us one day from the original Nottingham 😜🙌🏻🫶🏻
I have never used oil paints and would love to see yours. I mostly use watercolors. Thank you for inviting us along on your journey.

Thank you for sharing! I love seeing South Africa through your eyes :) far away from Seattle for sure so it was fun to virtually “travel” ❤

It's so weird hearing all these places, I'm from Nottingham in the Midlands in England!
Then you would recognize many of the names of places in South Africa 😝 Fort Nottingham was set up as the base for the Nottingham Regiment who were sent by Queen Victoria to protect the area from local tribesman. The fort is still there today and the area is known as Nottingham Road.
