RAINBOW ROAD

Brief Background
I have a day job, thank goodness because some days on the craft market scene you sell absolutely nothing. Jealous of my brother's success as a professional fine artist [visit http://www.caseyvdleek.com/] and convinced I had oodles of natural talent carried down from great grandpa Tinus de Jongh, I thought selling my work would be a snip. It's damn hard work, lots of graft, lots of behind the scenes schlepp. The photography is the easy part.

I source my frames using teak and weathered oregon pine. I also use black classic frames for a more classy 'office'-type style. I can provide frames to order. Simply email me your preferred size and specifications and I'll provide you with a very reasonable quote. My frames retail for between R120 for small to R500 for bigger frames, depending on wood and other specifications.

The above picture is VIEW FROM MY BLACONY. It's a view over Johannesburg's morning mists, with Sandton's two towers just off centre. This is a large landscape printed on canvas @ 1mX.75m [framed with dark wood and white peeling paint] sells for just R1500. Unframed R750.


Above: FLAMING SKY OVER WINDMILL, framed R1500, unframed R800.

JEFFREY'S BAY RAINBOW - R350 [Unframed R200]

FOAM AT KLEINBRAK R1000 [UNFRAMED R500]

The two photographs above show the stark lines of Jeffrey's Bay under the graceful arc of a rainbow versus the 'earthy' interpretation. The oregon pine frame of FOAM AT KLEINBRAK gives a washed-up-driftwood feel to this salty seascape.

If you like these samples, browse my albums and become a fan of my work at Nick van der Leek PHOTOGRAPHY on facebook. I also shoot porfolios for facebook purposes and occasionally for magazines and newspapers. Email me to find out what's involved by click here.
