I love your work Elsbeth, and would love you to do a watercolour for my daughter's bedroom. In the mean-time I would also love the bird or the teapots - as I am a confirmed tea lover!

Romanda Haynes said...

Elsbeth, I would be on cloud nine to have more of your paintings! Love the girl, always the girl specially if she is with her doxie ;-P but any painting of you I enjoy.

Your paintings are like pieces of life!

Elsbeth, nou sonder om witvoetjie te soek net om hierdie stukkie van jou verbeelding te besit wil ek graag thanks se, thanks vir die emosies wat jou verwe in my ontlok. Onmoontlik vir my om nie te voel of 'n klein bietjie sonskyn hom in my gemoed kom tuismaak nie. Bly verf, want ek sal altyd kyk.

Oh Elsbeth, my favourite is the teacups - I have a collection of blue and white and floral cups, and they make me feel happy, just like your art always does!

So delicate and whimsical, the little blue love bird would be the perfect addition to my home office :)

Ek het van die begin af hals oorkop geraak verlief geraak met die "girls' en eendag as ek mooi groot is, sal ek nou daai fox ene aanskaf! Plattelandse groetnis Vanessa de Villiers

Unknown said...

Oh oh oh how I love these Elsbeth, ek het als oorkop verlief geraak op jou kunswerke van dag een af by Kamers laas jaar! As ek eendag groot is, my hartjie lê nogsteeds op daai "girl met fox" ene, maar ek is absoluut gek oor jou "girl" reeks - ek vind net so myself in jou werk! Plattelandse groetnis Vanessa

Cup of Love: Few things warm the heart, heal the soul, mend your wings like a cup of tea with your girlfriends and Elsbeth's Art <3

Denise van den Bergh said...

The tea cups, warm tea is relaxing and warm which gives the comfort feeling JUST LIKE LOVE.....

Unknown said...

Dear Elsbeth, I found your facebook page some time last year, started to silently follow your blog... I am so inspired by your art. It always puts a smile on my face when I am having a dreary day. Your work is really incredible and touches something in my soul. I would love to have one of your pieces <3

Unknown said...

I am so glad I came accross your site! Your characters are adorable and so unique!

Unknown said...

Aaaawww. How adorable! Your characters are so unique. I am very glad to have come accross your site. :)

Hi Elsbeth

I recently found out that I was expecting a little miracle baby, and we are restoring the most beautiful 140 year old baby rocking chair for the room. Your bird picture would compliment it perfectly and I would be such a proud mommy if your work is my child's first piece of art! <3

Gill Haggis said...

I saw a quote on Pinterest that said "If tea can't fix it, it's a serious problem!" I think tea in those gorgeous
teacups, with all that love, would even fix a serious problem! x Gill

Unknown said...

Elsbeth, jou kuns is so amazing en reflekteer absoluut jou beautiful hart.... Wow!! :) Mascha

Unknown said...

I have 2 year old twin girls!!! Need I say more?

Minnette Shawe said...

I have been a fan of yours for a number of years. I always admire your work and find it so inspiring. The girl is definately my favourite but they are all beautiful. Keep up with the beautiful paintings, so i can keep admiring them.

Anita Visscher said...

Your delightful blue bird of love can fly to my nest !!

KarinJuliaSmith said...

Oeeeeeeee! Love love love :) Would love to start my own collection with a pretty bird and stop trying to steal my mom's pictures! :p Have been a fan for many years, stopping traffic every time I walk past Articles&Frames to stare at your gorgeous work being displayed.

Your work is amazing and puts a smile on my face every time :)

Tutta Bella said...

Wow...I love all three and what a wonderful gift for anyone! Your work is amazing and I love my girl pics that I have up in my home. Always brings a smile to my face! You are one talented lady and thanks for sharing :-))

Chris van der Westhuizen said...

Hoe kan ek dit stel? Jou goedjies is vir my so duidelik of helder gedefinieer. Met hier en daar so 'n effense afwyking van die werklikheid, miskien 'n ietsie iewers bietjie oorgeaksentueer - dit wat daarvan kuns maak.

Die ander rede hoekom ek moet wen is dat ek darem so nou en dan kuns ondersteun en iets koop, het gisteraand twee werkies van Eleen Polson bestel by UJ se uitstalling Tom Waits for nou man. Dat ek darem een gratis enetjie ook in die klein versamling kan hê!

Natasha Kemp Human said...

I have loved and coveted a piece of your work since I first saw it @ Alice Art 3 years ago! Each of these precious paintings would have a spot in my house... Each one is beautiful in its own way! You truly are very talented :)

DIANA said...

..i was just commenting yesterday...and now i hope to win the blue girl with glasses..i wear glasses too and i wish you a very brilliant future for your art!!i love it from Italy..

Kari Longman said...

Your art is utterly charming and delightful. Whenever I receive your e-mail posts or come to your website, it lifts my spirits and gives my heart a little skippety-skip feeling! And so generouf of you to share your artwork with us all online ... I would be completely delighted to have one of your art works to display in a special place in my house. They are all gorgeous, although my favourite may well be the little bespectacled girl, since I have a little 8-year old bespectacled girl of my own ;)! x Kari Longman

Thank you so much for sharing it all with us online, so we can all delight in the loveliness of it, even if we've never seen the work in the flesh ...
I would be completely delighted with any one of your lovely artworks to put in a special place in my house. But possibly my favourite would be the little bespectacled girl, since I have my own little bespectabled 8-year daughter ;). x Kari Longman

Yvonne said...

oh wow! I'm a huge fan of yours!! Would love and be happy with all 3 artworks, but the girl is my favourite! Love your work xx

..koppies vol liefdestee; voer my mee
na werelde ongeken geteken met fyn blou pen!
(haha..ek weet jou allerfraaiste prentjies is geverf, maar die rympie wou nie met verf werk nie..)





Unknown said...

Awesome work! How can one pick which is the best piece when all are master pieces....hmmm...such a tough decision...but since I have a soft spot for tea cups...I shall pick the tea cups.

Wishing you a superb weekend doing anything and everything that pleases your heart.

Good day :)

Your art makes me calm. It makes me miss people I've never known and makes me want to go to places I've never seen. Your art makes me proud to be a woman- curvy and girly and pretty. It inspires me to embrace my whimsical side and it makes me want to have a baby girl just so that I can fill her room with LOADS of your pictures. Your art makes me want to sit in the sun and have a cup of tea. And your art TRULY makes me proud to be a South African- it touches my soul!!!

Thank you! Be blessed!

Lieflik! Die "girl" skets laat dink my aan die sketse wat hier rond vlieg deur 'n 9jarige "budding artist". Die hoekige brilraam! haha! dalk het sy heeltyd agter my gestaan en oor my skouer geloer toe ek na die blog geloer het. Vertel een keer een van jou stories toe jy nog so klein was.

Goeie week!

cornel said...

Ek wil niks hê nie ... dit sal onregverdig wees, want jy ken my en jy weet waarvan ek hou. Wil net vir jou sê hoe spesiaal jy is en hoe besonder talentvol jy is. Ek is so bly dat ek jou beter kan leer ken. Jy's baie mooi van buite en nog mooier binne. C x

Tara Schulz said...

Just love your quirky whimsical art, and have a few beautiful pieces in Hannah's room to prove it! I am about to re-do our kitchen in duck egg blue so would absolutely LOVE your love in a teacup as a unique addition :) Hope you and Amber are well xx Tara

Unknown said...

They are all gorgeous. The masked blue bird of love stands out for me today. But love cups are also special. In our family, whenever we make each other a cup of tea (or coffee) we deliver it with a kiss and say: "here's your love in a cup". We're very lucky to have one of your magnificent paintings hanging in our lounge. It brings us joy every day. Xx

Becky said...

Ah Elsbeth! Your art is so stunning! Been loving all these regular posts!!! The bird 'in disguise' is so so wonderful!
