A morning walk from Muizenberg to Kalk Bay

Posted by Stephen Quirke on January 16, 2010 under Art, seascape, watercolor, watercolour | 11 Comments to Read

This morning I went through to Muizenberg and took the walk through to Kalk Bay – as I did the other day.  I sat on the way to do this watercolour of the view:

Muizbg-5-D

And now the explanation:

I have decided to re-energise my other blog at WordPress.  It is such a cool community and I have felt the need for somewhere more loose than this website since I started.   So I have re-opened my very first blog at www.sjqwatercolour.wordpress.com.  I had closed this first watercolour blog and started deg34south because my business profile was different from my art profile.  This is still an issue and I will see what I need to do about it.  At the end of last year I opened this website.  Well I hope this is the end of the chopping and changing but I am afraid I cannot guarantee this.  (o:

Anyway – you can check out the story behind this watercolour at the other site – just click on that site.  S

    Stephen, I am very glad you re-energized your blog. I am a new blogger. I also paint in watercolor and I am really interested in the paintings, drawings and work-in-progress you are showing. I would like to blog everyday as an incentive to myself to work everyday but I was reluctant to show work that was not yet complete. Now I see that there may be value in doing just that. Thank you and I really enjoy your watercolors and the opportunity to learn more about your lovely country. Linda

    Hi Linda
    Thanks for leaving a comment – when I started blogging just over a year ago I resolved to post each piece I did no matter what. And I have found this to be a very nurturing environment. So all the best with your work. There are times when I do more blogging than painting and that can be a problem. But I found quite soon that putting a new painting on my blog was quite a powerful incentive for me. Thanks for your positive feedback – I am keen to see your work. All the best – Stephen

    Stephen, I think you are suffering from multiple personality disorder.

    No matter. I will follow you whichever incarnation you are exhibiting at the time.

    Off to your wordpress blog…….

    Nice to see you that side too – S

    I’m dizzy enough already…but will now fly over to see what’s going on.

    Hi June – bad day? Well eventually I may settle down – take it easy – S

    Thanks for the comments on my blog. Thought I’d just let you know though, that when I tried clicking on the link to come here it didn’t work.Presumably it’s because the link is from this site rather than your old one? I’ll try putting this address in on my dashboard links & see if that fixes it.

  • sonya chasey said,

    Well I’ve only half fixed it – it works from my blogroll but not when you try clicking on your name where you left the comments which is a pity as it means people can’t find your site from there. Any ideas?

  • Stephen Quirke said,

    Hi Sonya – something has gone wonky on this and I am not sure what – I will see what I can do here. Cheers hey S
