About this piece: 

The title is French to honour Fragonard; it means Magical Garden Swing. Magical in reference to the animals in a fairylike garden. I chose the swing for its magical, fairyland quality with an incredible composition; full of movement, it draws the eye in and leads you around the painting perfectly. I was looking for a Rococo artwork in particular and have always loved The Swing. I was inspired by Franonard's artistic skill, working from his work has highlighted how talented he was.

About the Artist: 

My interest in art began at age eight. I started drawing horses initially after becoming obsessed with them. We can thank my friend Mandy, who took me to see her pony one day, after which I got hooked. 

Despite an early art teacher’s comment that I wasn't very good, I went on to receive the high school art prize two years later.

I graduated with a Fine Arts degree from Wits University in 1988, exhibiting work twice as a student—once in New Signatures and once in the Gertrude Posel gallery.

After graduating, I decided to pursue a different career, not picking up a brush for twenty years. I decided to go back to it and started painting nearly every day in my free time. I still have a full-time job, so my creations take a while to complete.

I mainly use oils. I have an interest in landscapes and quirky themes juxtaposing animals with unexpected settings. 

I have sold a number of paintings, though I don't actively market my work much. I have never had a solo exhibition or been represented by a gallery. 

I was recently a finalist in the Sasol New Signatures competition in June and had a painting exhibited at the Pretoria Art Museum.

I have a few goals with regard to art, most importantly, to get as good as I could possibly get. The other is to exhibit more, possibly one day having a solo show. 

I have a passion for painting, and working on my next piece every day is a source of joy and satisfaction.

Yaaaasssss baby! YASSSSSSSSS!
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
I get hot and sweaty all the time- I could be sunning in a thong in below zero and still be- I need a fan. This shirt is NOT HOT- its handsome, feels nice, my wife loves it, it looks good dressed up or with shorts and I'm not needing to mop my face. It breathes and looks good. The fit is nice, I went up a size because it seems to run a wee bit small, thankfully the larger size is not longer so it doens't have to be hemmed or look silly. So pleased. Wish there were other designs that weren't so crazy/flashy because I would order more.

La recomiendo.
Size: Small, Color: Black
Solo no me gusto la doble cobertura de los botones, ya que se hace un poco difícil ponertela.
