For quite a number of years now Anita Barnard has been privileged to be a resident of Stilbaai, an inspiring seaside village in the Western Cape Province, South Africa.
Anita draws her inspiration mostly from her immediate environment. As a Stillbaai resident it is almost impossible to miss the sea and all the related themes such as seabirds, shells, plants as well as human activities on the beach. Whatever theme is tackled, it is a sensitive use of color that is crucial to me.
To her mind acrylic paint is a very versatile medium and ideal for experimenting. An almost playful medium, while oil paint lends itself to a slow building of layers of rich colours. She feels that the coastal environment offers her lots of opportunities to use both mediums in her work.
Visit her by appointment.
