This vibrant landscape painting depicts a serene scene with a mountainous backdrop and a foreground brimming with trees and shrubs. Three prominent peaks stand at the center, their slopes bathed in sunlight and painted in striking hues of blue and yellow. The expansive sky above is softly lit with scattered clouds, evoking a sense of calm and open space. The artist's bold, expressive brushstrokes bring the natural world to life, using a palette of contrasting greens, purples, reds, and yellows to portray the lush, post-rain environment.

Frances Wedepohl, a skilled artist from Johannesburg, draws inspiration from South African master JH Pierneef, known for his balanced and peaceful landscapes. Her work invites viewers into a tranquil escape, blending her background in architectural drafting with her passion for color and form. With a love for 70s music accompanying her creative process, Frances's art provides a harmonious retreat from the outside world.

About Frances Wedepohl

From a young age, Frances Wedepohl, a South African artist with roots in Johannesburg, developed a profound love for art and creativity.

Her fascination with vibrant colours, shapes, and textures was evident as she used every available canvas for her artistic expression.

Her admiration for JH Pierneef's work, discovered on a special day, became a lasting source of inspiration. Pierneef's influence is discernible in her art, as she finds affinity in his play of light, balanced compositions, and serene landscapes.

Painting is Frances' solace, a realm of tranquillity where the world falls silent, except for the sounds of her cherished 70s music collection. The experience is intense, serene, and cathartic.

Her work is a reflection of her travels and dreams, primarily inspired by the South African landscape, with its characteristic sun, soil, heat, and sky.

With a background in architectural draughting, akin to Pierneef, Frances' artistic style is characterised by precise brushwork, intricate details, and a strong focus on lines, colours, and shapes, often using a limited palette of oils. Her art encompasses landscapes, figures, forests, portraits, and vibrant street scenes, where she experiments with a vivid array of acrylic colours.
