A crazy busy Art Year!

Hello Friends, 

 I had a look through some photos of artwork that I've created over the past few months...and realised that I've really been a busy lady.  And since I've not updated the blog for a while - thought I'd share some images.  

If you're interested in commissioning me to create a painting especially for you - please email me at vonbrughan@gmail.com.  I will reply super quickly and we can chat about options.  
It will help if you attatch a reference picture of what you like.  My turn around time for a painting is 3-4 weeks.  I work in oils on stretched canvas and ship to clients all over the world.  A 60cm x 90cm is probably the biggest size that should be shipped internationally, but I have shipped a 77cm x 100cm and it arrived safely on the other side!

Let's chat.

3 Day Portrait Workshop with Dee Donaldson @Studio3Durban


'Self Portrait 2017'

This past weekend, I did some daily trips down to Durban - I so appreciate my City - to attend an intense 3 days of Portraiture Workshop with Dee Donaldson.  Very empowering and filled with practical and useful tips and methods which I will seamlessly adopt into my artwork.

I have uploaded some images for you to see how it went.
