The Bonne Esperance Cape? Dramatic atmosphere. The green light in the middle of the wave is really extra!

It's rare that i like a landscape, but this is so strong and your brushstrokes are so creamy and intense... they remember me Manet: he knew when and what colour used on his works, like you... and i envy so much this security in painting! However, great job!

you can paint a seascape from memory? wow! i find it much easier to paint from a photo, or from real life. if i tried to paint from memory, it would look nothing like the sea

Haha I think the see and maybe some trees is the only thing I can paint from memory. I mostly use photos as well! Thanks for watching.

Onrus, naby Hermanus? Ai...

Eks nou terug in Sonnige SA, maar moet nog by die see gaan draai. Amper! (hoop ek)

Lovely!

Dit het 'n rukkie gevat om gewoond te raak aan die idee dat ek nou terug is, maar ek moet eerlik sê, al mis ek Nederland voel dit fabulous om terug te wees.

Vir die rekord, ekt self al biki gaan visvang (en vervel nou as gevolg daarvan!!!). Hierdie vel is nie meer gewoond aan die Afrika son nie. Hehe. Maar ek oefen hom behoorlik!

Die huis sal maar altyd wees waar jou hart is.
