About "Story Time"

An ancient Red Indian grandmother sits with her grandchild on her knee, imparting stories of wisdom and folk-lore. The bond between grandmother and child is tangible as the child sits still, enfolded in the older woman’s arms. I concentrated on depicting the difference in age by paying attention to the grandmother’s face, hair and hand, in contrast to the smoothness of the young child.

About Barbi

Barbi Vandewalle

Barbi is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

Having been born and brought up in Central Africa , I have always been humbled by the vast canvas and the infinite palette of hues, shades and colours that Mother Earth so reverently offers us. As much as the forever changing expansive skies, the never ending kaleidoscope of land and water, so too am I inspired by the fragility and expression of humankind, and it is all of these that form the basis of my subject material.

Although I have had no formal tuition, but have always been involved in artistic endeavors, I started concentrating on painting 12 years ago, under the mentor ship of Tim Johnson and Leonie Turck. I thank them for their love and patience and even more for believing in me.

I paint primarily for enjoyment, concentrating in watercolours and oils.I now have my own art group teaching watercolours to both beginners and those who are more experienced. My art has become my passion, and every day I am grateful for the experience and the peace that comes to me when I pick up my brush and watch the cohesion of magic and colour. I paint mainly on a commission basis and my work can be found throughout Southern Africa, as well as internationally as far as China, France London, and Australia.
