Portraits: faceless and love

 Faceless portraits of Minette van der Walt

           No use crying over spilled paint. It doesn’t always work out as planned, but for Minette van der Walt, that is the beauty of art.

With a talent in fine art and journalism, Minette van der Walt's dreams seem promising.

 

She enjoyed the empowered feeling of a hidden identity. She longs back to her time in Dubai.

While reminiscing, Minette van der Walt twirls back into her days of dancing.

Puddles, brollies and wellies remind Minette of travelling. It takes her back to the grey skies of England. 

“I’m very definitely a women and I enjoy it”, her favourite actress once said.  They both believe that beauty and femininity are ageless and cannot be contrived.

 

Portraits of Hancu Louw, someone I love

Boys will be boys.

"Power to the planet” and all the fun activities it beholds. For Hancu Louw, skateboarding is not only a hobby; it is a way of life.

  There is nothing like a lazy morning on the beach, to sooth the remnants of the previous night’s partying.

 “Blest leaf! Whose aromatic gales dispense”, poet Isaac Hawkins Browne wrote. Hancu Louw agrees, for this little vice is “an object of warm desire”.

Water-filled brandy bottles and a Kente cloth functions as a curtain. What a practical man. 

The "sensitive soul".
