Hi Isabelle – and a great new year to you too. Yes it is a magical place. I see you have also been doing many watercolours. You have some beautiful mountain paintings.

Hey Barry – thanks man – A bakkie is a truck I guess. It is a double cab which is useful for loading the family and the kit – it is an afrikaans word so it is pronounced ‘bucky’ (o:

It beats a hangover for starting the New Year. Lovely. I like the way you drag the brush in places and pick up the texture of the paper.
What’s a bakkie?

Hey Leslie – On the day after new year we took a walk along the contour just below the mountain. The dark strip at the foot of the mountain is un-burnt fynbos. A couple of years ago a massive fire was encroaching on Betty’s Bay from over the mountains the fire department did a back-burn from the top of the strip, upwards towards the approaching flames, which saved the town. The fresh green area is full of beautiful new growth and flowers. So I am glad I captured that. While I was walking I also came across a troup of baboons – but they didn’t bug me.

Beautiful painting of a dreamlike place, Stephen. I like the added bits of color here in this one.

I love the sound of laughter – if only we could do it more. The droid came from an upgrade late last year and I have resolved to get some use out of it now. Fortunately I have my son Ethan to show me how it works. It really is nice technology. I have this idea of posting staged paintings from exotic locations – maybe this year.

Hi Carol
Nice to hear from you so early in the year. May you flourish this year. Thanks for this feedback. The colours in this scene change so radically, so frequently it is tough to get them down. But it does work hey? S
