About this piece: 

The title is French to honour Fragonard; it means Magical Garden Swing. Magical in reference to the animals in a fairylike garden. I chose the swing for its magical, fairyland quality with an incredible composition; full of movement, it draws the eye in and leads you around the painting perfectly. I was looking for a Rococo artwork in particular and have always loved The Swing. I was inspired by Franonard's artistic skill, working from his work has highlighted how talented he was.

About the Artist: 

My interest in art began at age eight. I started drawing horses initially after becoming obsessed with them. We can thank my friend Mandy, who took me to see her pony one day, after which I got hooked. 

Despite an early art teacher’s comment that I wasn't very good, I went on to receive the high school art prize two years later.

I graduated with a Fine Arts degree from Wits University in 1988, exhibiting work twice as a student—once in New Signatures and once in the Gertrude Posel gallery.

After graduating, I decided to pursue a different career, not picking up a brush for twenty years. I decided to go back to it and started painting nearly every day in my free time. I still have a full-time job, so my creations take a while to complete.

I mainly use oils. I have an interest in landscapes and quirky themes juxtaposing animals with unexpected settings. 

I have sold a number of paintings, though I don't actively market my work much. I have never had a solo exhibition or been represented by a gallery. 

I was recently a finalist in the Sasol New Signatures competition in June and had a painting exhibited at the Pretoria Art Museum.

I have a few goals with regard to art, most importantly, to get as good as I could possibly get. The other is to exhibit more, possibly one day having a solo show. 

I have a passion for painting, and working on my next piece every day is a source of joy and satisfaction.

Fantastic bone for my Lab!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: XL - 2 Pack
My chocolate lab loves these!! He is not an aggressive chewer, and so they last a while. I’ve bought them numerous times and keep them on hand. Love that it’s safe for them to digest. Bacon flavor is his favorite. They don’t stink at all (some other brands do), and they don’t make a mess. Fantastic bone for my boy :-)

Fabulous Lasting Chew Bone
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 3 Pack
I can no longer get the Deerhorns they loved, so I have been buying these. They are so excited when I open a new package and give it to them. They like all sizes. They place their feet on the handles and hold it, making it easier for them to chew on them. They are a little less expensive if I visit a local Walmart store. The problem is that they are often out or not stocked.

my dog loves it, but is chewing small, jagged shreds off of it
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 2 Pack
My dog loves this bone and he is able to easily hold it in his paws due to the shape. He is half bernedoodle and half bloodhound quite large 75 pounds and is a very aggressive chewer. My only concern is that he is biting off small pieces of what I believe is plastic since it’s the nylon one. I know he’s probably ingesting some of the pieces. Is this supposed to happen?

Excellent chew option!!!!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 2 Pack
My pups love these! They are able to easily hole them with their paws and they must like he taste as these are their.favorite ‘bones’. They also last along time and do not ‘splinter’. My 12 year old loves to throw it on the air and play with it!
