About "After the Storm"

I love the West Coast and the fishermans cottages that is typical to the region. I try to capture the simplicity of the villages. The sunsets and storms over the coastline is magnificent. I tried to capture some of that in this painting.
Whats special about this painting is the sun/moon. In the day, its the sun and at night, its the moon shining through the clouds.

About Marthie

I was born 17 May 1967 in Krugersdorp. After school I studied to become a nurse, as I always had a passion for people. After I raised my children, we relocated Melkbosstrand, Western Cape.
I always wanted to paint and I started in 2014 with Louis Pretorius for tutoring, but I am mainly self-taught. I love the West Coast and is inspired by the moods of the sea.
The simplicity of the West Coast, in particular the Fisherman's villages,has always been charming and romantic to me. Through my paintings I try to preserve that nostalgic and picturesque scenes that's fast disappearing through commercialization.
I believe painting is silent poetry.
