Horseback riding, with dogs and birds - 2018 August

I couriered more works to the Art in the Yard Gallery in Franschhoek yesterday.

With 2018 being the year of the dog, I've used more images with dogs.

I specifically chose not to keep the dogs 'on leads' to represent a mutual and trusting friendship.

My childhood memories of long peaceful outrides with my horse, the birds flying around freely and of dogs all about, are always present in my work; along with pilgrims journeying along African roads and through fields. I never felt alone.
