In the Clouds Oil Painting
SKU: CWA-011
In the Clouds Oil Painting Dimensions: 35 cm x 45 cm x 305 cm Medium: Oil Cornelie Wolff has perfectly captured, in this beautiful oil painting, the pure, unadulterated bliss of a child on a swing, reaching for the heavens. The little girl in her vivid red dress, with adorable pigtails flying, is a burst of energy against a dreamy, textured sky. The rich, impasto brushstrokes bring every detail to life – from the swirl of her dress to the joyful blur of her movement, making you almost feel the exhilarating rush of the swing! The beauty of ‘In the Clouds’ lies in its ability to evoke that powerful sense of nostalgia and aspiration. It’s a universal reminder of simpler times, daring to dream big, and the sheer delight of simple pleasures. The soft, airy background beautifully contrasts with the vibrant subject, drawing your eye to the heart of the moment. Oil Painting Cornelie Wolff Approaching Art from a Different Angle This Johannesburg-based artist started as a pharmacist. After completing her Honours Degree in Psychology, she joined Helios to further her skills in Art Therapy. During this time, she fell in love with art, the process and the emotional power it yields. While raising her family, which consisted of three young children, she took part-time classes with Rika de Klerk and Willie Jacobs. She also attended workshops led by Koos Bronkhorst, Niel Moss, Willie Jacobs, Rentia Coetzee, Ruth Walters, Elize Bezuidenhout, Douw van Heerden, Charla Maarschalk, and Jennifer McChristian. Today, she practices what she preaches by creating her work under the motto: “With every painting I complete, I grow as a person and an artist.” My art is created from a place of wonder – it is my dream for every human to never completely lose the child inside them, because it is our ability to see wonder and magic in things. I use bold brushstrokes, contrast and an impressionistic approach to entice the viewer to create their own interpretation of the subject and become part of my world.
