In the realm of existence, we women stand tall - c In the realm of existence, we women stand tall - creators, caregivers, pioneers. Our  essence, a symphony of strength and grace, reverberates through time. Mothers nurturing, daughters blooming, ancestors guiding. We women are all  a tapestry of resilience and wisdom woven with threads of courage and love. Happy Women’s Day to each of my beautiful female sisters in spirit .#womensday2024  #femalestrength

Old Man Winter is paying our fair Cape a visit. We Old Man Winter is paying our fair Cape a visit. We have frosty weather nipping at our fingers and toes. I am bundled up in several layers and between doggie cuddles and hot coffee,  the first flower of a fresh work is just about taking shape. Here's to a fabulous ,if slightly,  wet Friday 💧❄️🎨🐾#aninadeetlefsart

The more often we see the things around us - even The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.Joseph B. WirthlinThis quote gave me pause to think....how much of my everyday life filled with beautiful relationships, things, rituals and events pass me  by because they are exactly that, everyday, usual, part of the rhythm of my life.I think that the extraordinary memorable moments sometimes do not lie in our once-in-time-adventures but quite often in the mundane. It is only when our day to day existence inevitably changes due to the unforeseen that we look back with fondness on those mundane ordinary days filled with beautiful little thingsDon't you agree?#aninadeetlefsart

The apple does not fall far from the tree…Many The apple does not fall far from the tree…Many moons ago my bud would doodle on my canvas as I painted. How time flies….It was such a touching moment when my daughter and budding young artist, Anna-Sophia, personally delivered her  artworks to art lover , art consultant extraordinaire  and co-founder of the Travelling Art Gallery, Barbara Lenhard . Barbara is adding these two artworks to her own personal collection. What an incredible honour!!Thank you Barbara for encouraging the creative young artists of South-Africa in such a beautiful way . May your two little bright works created for the exhibition “ Quality Time”  at  the Rust-en-Vrede Gallery bring much joy and beauty to your home.#youngcreatives #aninadeetlefsart #artcollector #artconsultant #capetown #southafrica #inspiration #upliftment #art #youngartist #stillife #contemporaryartgallery #contemporaryartist #qualitytime #rustenvredegallery
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace." —May SartonIn this modern  life filled with instant gratification and superficial beauty , I love  the truth that rings so clear in this elegant quote by May Sarton. With her slow but constant change in shape, colour, and feel ,my garden gives me daily inspiration. She is very much a living work of art and an ever  present metaphor of human existence through her ability to live, die, regenerate and remain beautiful wether stripped bare of leaf and bloom during winter or decked in green summer splendour. Sharing a bit of the process of creating "Thrive" as well as the inspiration behind her beautiful orange tones.#aninadeetlefsart

What on earth is earthing and have you tried it ye What on earth is earthing and have you tried it yet?This beautiful work titled Terra , meaning earth or planet , is the reason my thoughts turn to the simple practice of " earthing" . This is where you take the time to reconnect with the earth. It can be as easy as laying on the grass or standing barefoot in your garden .  You become mindful  of the earth as provider of  food , water  and habitat and our connection to this life giving source.As we humans evolve we spend less and less time outdoors. Yet the genetic imprint of our ancient ancestors who walked barefoot and slept on the ground yearns to reconnect. This practice leaves you with a wonderful sense of well being.  And we can all  most certainly benefit from a bit of that. Don't you agree?#earth #aninadeetlefsart #aterlierlouis #portrait #art  #artcollector #abstractportrait #botanicalart #wip #africanart #grounded # naturetherapy
When Christmas cones early. Don't you just love it When Christmas cones early. Don't you just love it when you unwrap a parcel  and the goodies inside exceeds your expectations.On a more serious note here is a bit of  background regarding " Eve that is Life"There are a multitude of elements at play within the work 'Eve that is life…' Eve /iːv/ is an English given name for a female, derived from the Latin name Eva, in turn originating with the Hebrew חַוָּה (Chavah/Havah – chavah, to breathe, and chayah, to live, or to give life). The traditional meaning of Eve is "living".The title  refers to the natural world' s ability to create life, a woman's ability to carry a child within her womb and to give it life as well our human existence, ourI wanted to convey the feeling of intimacy through direct eye contact and that feeling of close contact , hence the cropped look of the work. She is engaging with you, the viewer. A note on contemplation 
We  humans have the  ability to contemplate and ponder our decisions before moving into action: exactly how long did Eve eye that apple in the mythical garden of Eden when confronted with a situation that forced her to make a choice.  In Christianity, contemplation refers to a content-free mind directed towards the awareness of God as a living reality" a very  apt description given the subject matter. Yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It’s the color that captures our attention more than any other color.In almost every culture yellow represents sunshine, happiness, and warmth.These limited edition prints of Eve in  Plexiglass format had my heart smiling broadlyAvailable from Art@Africa  Gallery#aninadeetlefsart #prints #surealpirtrait #abstractportrait #botanicalart #portrait  #capetown #southafrica #artreels
Why do I love bright colors🌈I absolutely lov Why do I love bright colors🌈I absolutely love working with bright colors. It is as if they stimulate my imagination and creativity .

Do they conjure up a favourite memory, emotion or simply make you happy?#aninadeetlefsart #brightcolors #lineart #wip #pen #artreels #artlover #artoftheday #contemporaryart #capetown #southafrica # mood

Nilou in the makingProgress shots tell a story Nilou in the makingProgress shots tell a story of the creation of a work. For me, these images are a valuable tool to use in evaluating specific areas while working. A photo can show  the work at a different angle or in a different light, emphasising an element that needs to change.#aninadeetlefsart #manzart  #artreels #artstudio #art #happyplace #portraitart #female #floral #colour #artlover #artcollector #franschoek  #southafrica
