What can be sweeter than 10 Irish Terrier Puppies and me.

"The giraffe the peli and me" - Roald Dhal - I'm reading it at the moment to my son. I took this photo on a boat trip on my birthday in 2009. Watch the pelican eyeing me before catching the fish. :)

On my birthday - 27 feb - we went on a boat cruise in Walvisbay. Dolphins were all around and under the boat. We saw sea-turtles, fed the sea-lion that got onto the boat - (he was called "google"). We ate soooo many oysters and drank sparkling wine. It was such a lovely day. The weather were perfect and the children were amazed. The pelican came and took the fish right out of our hands! How cool is that! I saw much better pics than I actually took, but the hand is definately slower than the eye. :)

Animals big or small they facinate me all. This painted in heat-set oils finished in 2008.

If all people could be taught to appreciate and nurture nature and all it's inhabitants from a very young age, it is my believe that there would be much less wars.

This Leopard I finished with heat set oils at the end of last year 2008. I wanted to put up another one I finished of a still life, but it was STOLEN from my class/studio. It took me a while to get over it! All that work just ...gone! I painted this in honour of all the clever leopards out there.
