I love visiting the Blombos that grow in the Skulpiesbaai Nature Reserve. The painting depicts the dance of a Blombos directed by the sun, swept by the wind and salted by the sea as she pirouettes towards the light. Each year these beings grow like old friends, settling in their unique forms that are as pleasing as a whole as in there minutest detail. Quick repetitive brushstrokes put me in a meditative state as the bush reaches and grows on the canvas. Loosing myself in the alternating leave patterns of stiff needle-like strokes, twisted and twirled in greens and grooved with white. Each long-lasting stem ending with a creamy flat topped flowerhead lifted on reddish florets, so densely crowded in papery perfection.

This painting depicts a Blombos from the Metalasa genus of the Fynbos family, with the form of the bush as subject dominating the whole of the canvas with its vigorous growth. Quick repetitive brushstrokes represents the longing for growth. With the alternating leave pattern painted in stiff needle-like strokes, twisted and twirled in greens and grooved with white. The stems ending in a crowded crescendo of papery flat topped flowerheads lifted on reddish florets that reach towards the sunlight.
