Homes on Distant Hills

Homes on Distant Hills, are what I often saw from horseback on long outrides into the surrounding countryside as a child growing up. Nowadays, I see these little homes when driving by car.

Powerlines continue to find their way into my oil paintings and mixed media work; their significance both in the acknowledgment of our need for electricity, but with some sadness for the continual claim of the earth. I’m so pleased for the sale of this work at the exhibition titled ‘Humanity’ at the lovely Gallery, in Ballito.

The ArtCard included in this collection is ‘obvious to those who know me’ … for the joy remembered of riding out country on horseback, over textures of the earth beneath; amongst and through grassy fields of open plains; with the spirit in the air embracing a steady trot along winding paths.

The little clay homes have been formed from many photographs of unique huts, houses and homes that are seen dotted about the South African landscape.
