Number 17: Two Paintings, Three Sisters

There is a new oil painting hanging in my lounge in Johannesburg and soon Doreen will have one hanging in her home in Hilton, KZN too. The artist, Inel Date from The Artshed, Cowra, New South Wales, Australia.
There are 3 blue palette knife scrapes in the landscapes, that is us, the three Wedderburn sisters.

NUMBER 17:
Two Paintings, Three Sisters

Two Paintings, Three Sisters
Our story as sisters is a little different, when I left Vanderbiljpark to go to Johannesburg at 17, Inel was 6 and Doreen 2 years old and being a self-centered teenager, I had paid scant attention to these little girls around me.
A wedding has brought us together again.
One of the quiet pleasures in my life has been overcoming our age gaps and geographical separation; and getting to know and appreciate these two beautiful and creative women.
I look at my landscape and I am happy to know that somewhere in the world I have two sisters that I love.
