Large Sunflowers Painting with Presence


The large sunflower painting that was commissioned ; in its home ; over 1000km away.
After carefully building a wooden-crate for this painting it arrived safely intact. Remember it is 2,0 x 1,5m in size.
Now with a frame around the painting , it fills the space with a pleasant , invigorating presence.

Summer Days - Cape Town


A stroll from Blue Peter Hotel leads you to this view.
Fresh ocean-air and a dip in the water cools you on hot days.
Table Mountain being visible in the background.
I discovered a little cove between the houses , good spot for picnics.
Some houses so close to the sea; imagine spring-tide is on their door-step.

Port Elizabeth CBD - Buildings




After many years of neglect, good to see old buildings being renovated in Port Elizabeth city centre.

Very few buildings with this architectural style remain in Port Elizabeth.
Wonder what it will be used as?

Maybe a hotel?
