PORTCHIE PAINTING

He has had several solo and group exhibitions.I do a wide variety of work from expressionistic and impressionistic, bright, warm, and happy colors. My trees are always blue because the air filtrates through the trees. Trees are strong and blue is a very strong color for me. Im crazy about the feeling of washing: good, clean, fresh and free. In each painting I do I put a little bit of myself, and at the end of the day I really sell a bit of my love for lifePortchie is a South African Postwar & Contemporary painter who was born in 1963.
