Just for Fun – Oil Painting

Dimensions: 50 cm x 70 cm x 4cm

Medium: Oil

Just for Fun by Cornelie Wolff is a whimsical and utterly charming oil painting that invites you into a world of pure imagination. This vertical artwork defies convention, blending disparate elements to create a scene that is both surreal and full of personality.

The canvas features two figures, both submerged in a dreamlike, watery environment suggested by the vertical brushstrokes of pale blue and white. The figure on the left is a woman wearing a broad-brimmed straw hat with a light blue ribbon. Instead of a typical pet, she holds a live chicken with rich brown and black feathers, adding a quirky, rural twist to the aquatic scene.

On the right, a second figure wears a snorkel mask, their expression a mix of playful curiosity and serene calm. They hold a lush bouquet of pink proteas and greenery, a striking natural contrast to their underwater attire. The flowers themselves are painted with exquisite detail, their vibrant colours a central focal point.

Floating above the figures are abstract, bubble-like forms of blue and yellow, which seem to drift and drip down the canvas, enhancing the surreal atmosphere.

Cornelie Wolff Approaching Art from a Different Angle

This Johannesburg-based artist started as a pharmacist. After completing her Honours Degree in Psychology, she joined Helios to further her skills in Art Therapy. During this time, she fell in love with art, the process and the emotional power it yields.

While raising her family, which consisted of three young children, she took part-time classes with Rika de Klerk and Willie Jacobs. She also attended workshops led by Koos Bronkhorst, Niel Moss, Willie Jacobs, Rentia Coetzee, Ruth Walters, Elize Bezuidenhout, Douw van Heerden, Charla Maarschalk, and Jennifer McChristian.

Today, she practices what she preaches by creating her work under the motto: “With every painting I complete, I grow as a person and an artist.”

My art is created from a place of wonder – it is my dream for every human to never completely lose the child inside them, because it is our ability to see wonder and magic in things. I use bold brushstrokes, contrast and an impressionistic approach to entice the viewer to create their own interpretation of the subject and become part of my world.
