On Exhibition!

1/30/2022

The South African Society of Artists (SASA) is currently running their prestigious Merit Exhibition at the Richard Crowie Hall in the wonderful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town. The Merit Exhibition only includes works by the crème de la crème of SASA members who achieve the maximum scores in their Annual Exhibition the previous year.

'Table Mountain from Blouberg Beach' is one of the works I have on exhibition - one of my Table Mountain Series. The exhibition runs daily until Monday 7th February.

Cape Town is in the grip of a huge heatwave this weekend. Let's just quietly the contemplate the sun gently setting over the ocean, breathe deeply and feel the cooling breeze, as it offers some welcome relief.

What's the collective noun for a group of ostriches?

1/16/2022

0 Comments

It seems there are three terms for a group of ostriches:
- a flock of ostriches, which could be almost any bird, flightless or not
- a pride of ostriches, which sounds more like a group of lions,
- a wobble of ostriches - I wonder where that came from?

Summer's here in Cape Town

1/9/2022

It's mid-summer here in Cape Town, a time when folk literally flock to the beaches.
The city definitely has no shortage of amazing beaches, but Boulders Beach in False Bay offers something extra special – a colony of African Penguins, all so smartly dressed, waddling away right under your nose. It’s one of the rare places in the world where you can actually get close to African Penguins.

Bo-Kaap Museum, 71 Wale Street, Cape Town

1/2/2022

This beautiful building is one of a few remaining examples of the small “huurhuisjes” (rental houses) erected in 1768 by Jan de Waal in the upper portion of Wale Street. Restored in 1975 by the City Engineer’s Department, one of the unique features of this early house is the curvilinear baroque gable.

The original Cape Dutch teak windows, doors and double fanlight with radiating glazing bars and lantern were restored, as were the yellowwood floor and ceiling boards. A reinforced concrete roof slab was placed over the earlier fabric and covered in a lime cement to simulate the original covering of shell lime and seashells. Fittings that required replacement were patterned on old Cape Dutch examples.

Read more about the Bo-Kaap Museum where you will also find a selection of my popular prints in their shop.
