It might not look like much progress but these hornbills have been untouched since June. This is a very personal piece that I have been wanting to do for the past few years. This one is going on my wall ✨️🪶

Hi friends ✨️ please read

I’m so excited to share that I’ve been invited to take part in the Celebrity Postcard Auction this year! It’s such an honour, and I’ll be donating 3 original artworks to this wonderful cause. Once complete, they’ll be making their way across the seas to the UK, where they’ll be auctioned with all proceeds going directly to charity.

As part of this journey, I’ll be covering the shipping costs myself ✨️ about R500 ✨️ and I’d love to open up the opportunity for you to be part of it with me. If you’d like to contribute toward the shipping, you’ll be helping my little artworks travel across the world to do something truly meaningful.

Thank you, as always, for your support, encouragement, and belief in my art. It means more than I can put into words. 💛

✨ From blank paper to full plumage — here’s my African hoopoe taking shape, feather by feather.

Did you know?

🪶 The African hoopoe is instantly recognisable by its striking crest, which it can raise like a crown when excited or alarmed.

🌍 They’re found across most of sub-Saharan Africa, often seen probing the ground with their long curved beak in search of insects.

🎶 Their name comes from their call — a soft “hoo-poo” sound that echoes through woodlands and gardens.

💡 In many cultures, hoopoes are considered symbols of protection and guidance.

Watching their unique patterns emerge on paper feels a little like watching them forage in the grass — slow, deliberate, and full of character.

🖌️ What do you think, does this one capture the hoopoe’s charm?

When an artist creates, they do not leave the canvas untouched—
they leave behind a fragment of themselves.
A piece of soul, torn free, lives forever in the work.

And though the soul grows back, it is never as it was before.

Creation reshapes the creator,
and they are forever altered by what they have brought into the world.

✨ Work in Progress ✨

The African Hoopoe is slowly coming to life on my desk today. I love how this bird carries such personality in its crest—almost like it’s permanently ready for a grand entrance.

Still plenty of detail to add, but I couldn’t resist sharing this stage with you. There’s something magical about watching a piece slowly build up, layer by layer, until it takes on a life of its own.

Would you like to see more progress shots as I go along, or should I keep the final reveal a surprise? 🖤🧡

The first washes are down, and this striking crown is already stealing the show! I’m building up the layers slowly, letting the pigments settle into their own textures before moving on. It always amazes me how a piece starts to come alive with just an eye and a splash of colour.

More detail, more patience, and a lot of tiny brushstrokes still to come… but I’m enjoying every second of watching this bird emerge from the paper. 🖌️

@ableheart Thank you for the inspirational music

✨ A meeting of emerald and crimson ✨

This pair of Knysna Turacos is a celebration of South Africa’s wild heart. Their feathers glow like living jewels, hidden among the forest canopy, reminding us that beauty this rare is worth protecting. 🌿💚

I poured hours of careful detail into every stroke, so that when you look at them, you can almost hear the rustle of wings through the leaves.

Available as original artwork and fine art prints

— a tribute to the forest, for those who carry nature in their hearts. 🌍🕊️

Sometimes the art just… doesn’t want to cooperate.

Yesterday, after a long and stressful morning, I sat down to work on my Knysna Turacos — and it just wasn’t happening. My head wasn’t in the right space, my hands weren’t listening, and the result was… well… a bit of a mess.

Luckily, one of the joys of working with these pigments is that I can lift the ink and try again. Today is a new day, and these Turacos aren’t done with me yet. 🖌️💚

Work in Progress – Knysna Turaco

Emerging from the paper, the Knysna Turaco takes shape—its emerald crown catching the first whispers of light, its crimson eye a spark of wild intelligence. Each stroke builds the rhythm of the forest canopy, where flashes of green vanish into shadow and reappear like living gems. This piece is a quiet tribute to the untamed beauty of South Africa’s forests, a moment suspended between sketch and song.

I don't often adventure into the world of flora and today I remembered why... I really struggle to keep my momentum and enthusiasm through repetition and most flowers require intricate repetition within each petal 😵‍💫

I don't like to force the creative flow so finishing becomes challenging.

We are almost there though...
