My husband Peter, a sculptor, and I live in the once peaceful small country village called Waterfall, which over the years has developed into quite a busy little town.
Our three beautiful daughters, all talented in their own way, have left the nest to nestle with their own nestling's, leaving us with empty nest syndrome. We now have three Labradors and a little Sausage dog who keep us very, very busy indeed. Between the grand children, animals and the arts, life can become quite hectic in our household at times, but I would never want to change it at all!
Peter is a full time sculptor & artist, I on the other hand do pottery and teach little ones to keep me busy. I also love cooking and do a bit of writing as well. My dear friend @lizelle has been nagging me for months to join Steemit. She even did a post on my hubby’s art, showing the steemit whale !
Well! I must say, I was very hesitant at first. I joined on the 5th Jan 2018, and all I can say is that I am pleasantly surprised by the broad spectrum of interesting topics and the wonderful community of people on Steemit, you are awesome and I am so grateful to Lizelle for introducing me.I would like to share some of Peter’s latest pieces of art and a little bit of my pottery class.
The Torso is made from kiaat wood, and the oil painting is called; after midnight. The zebra is also a oil painting. 
Just a little peek of my pottery class.
Then something special happened the other day. We were in the garden when we noticed quite a large bird trapped in our greenhouse. It looked exhausted! Peter went in to check if it was hurt and to save it from the dogs, who were quite excited by now! It was an African Goshawk. He gently picked it up, took it into the house to revive it before releasing it. What a beautiful specimen of a bird, God is an amazing artist and creator, we felt so honored
to have had the privilege of being so close to such a magnificent creature.
This is an African Goss Hawk
Thank you steemit for giving me the opportunity to share a bit of my life with other Steemians.
