new year, new work

I have 2 Exhibitions coming up early this year.
The first is Historic Port Elizabeth from 12th to 27th February at the EPSAC Gallery. I will be exhibiting with Vilia Offerman, who is sought after for her great watercolours, and well known local photographer Bob Binell, who has a fantastic collection of vintage photos of early PE.
The next is in mid March, at the Cuyler Street Gallery, which I am delighted to get into, as the owner, Tossie Theron is a respected authority on Eastern Cape art, and a great promoter of local artists.
Here is a preview of a selection of new work that is being done for those exhibitions.
Title: Crossroads
Size: 600x500mm
SOLD
I love this little church which we see from our dining room window, the proportions are wonderful, as are the two different stone crosses on the gables. Over the years I have photographed it in a wide variety of light conditions.

Title: Contemplation 2

Size: 500x600mm

The meditative mood of this appealed to me.... gazing over the valley, is the grass greener over there?


Title: Crossroads St Stephens and Mackay Streets.
Size: 600x300mm
The streetscapes of the historic areas of PE are often charming, offering a blend of old houses and new lamp posts, and often the bay forms the backdrop.

Size: 600x300mm

Another Richmond Hill streetscape with panoramic view of the bay.

There is something about park benches and shady trees that really seems to draw me, I guess at a stressful time, it is the allure of the unattainable...

I imagine that the exhibitions will be a great success for you. Your paintings are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing what Port Elisabeth looked like and I was especially drawn to the white bench painting.
