For the love of art !

So here I am again ! For a change, this blog is not about me ! It is about moving art around the world, art that depicts the passion of South African artists ( or any artist who would like to share their work ) who are able to capture moments in time that we all ( hopefully ) long for.

Tonight I dedicate this blog to ' Dam Fine Artists ", follow their web page ! I happen to know one of the five who have started a club where they paint belong side a dam ( hence the name ) Please look at their website. As far as I am aware, all are relatively unknown artists who get together out of passion to transform canvas's into something real that could have a place on each and everyone's wall.

I have secured two paintings, oil on canvas, one of a cottage setting of the Western Cape - area well known as Peternoster - Artist .... Sharron Strickland, together with a flower oil, unknown to me who the artis is, but is one of the big five )!.  Both will lighten up both rooms I intend to hang them in - awaiting the arrival.

Without any permission , Roberts Smith, a friend of mine happened to post two works she had done years ago - still trying to get the knack of including pics in the blog, but look on my FB page - lovely, lovely, lovely !!!  - Ansa, you will hate me for exposing them as I know you have been looking after them since Robert left to settle in NZ.

Annie, Di and all of you that have painted, or whatever material used, share....share......share....... Let's move artwork around the globe. Always remember, there is nothing in it for me - just trying to get works around the globe - un-explored talent ! I think it was Picasso who wrote, one mans sketches is another mans painting !!! Let's do it !

As always, love, light and good laughter ! Love you, and email me your art - gavinlordie@hotmail.com.  I am gonna set up a new page just for art. Until then......await your art !

With love from the chair,

G
