Travelling Oil Painting
SKU: CWA-028
Travelling Oil Painting Dimensions: 46 cm x 60 cm x 4 cm Medium: Oil Wolff’s masterful brushwork brings this little donkey to life with an almost-human dignity. Its gentle expression and soulful eyes draw you in, while the rich, textured impasto paint on its back transforms its saddle into a lively collection of baggage. A bright red water bottle and a rolled-up blue sleeping mat hint at distant landscapes and a readiness for adventure. The donkey stands in a soft, ethereal landscape of subtle greens and light blues, making it feel as though it is patiently waiting for the next great story to begin. The beauty of this oil painting is in its compelling narrative of loyalty and determination. It’s a beautifully rendered symbol of a long journey, proving that true adventure is often found in the company we keep and the burdens we carry. This painting is a truly unique piece that will bring a touch of warm, spirited charm to any space. 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.
