AT THE FAIR TOO

And there was food for thought, apparently.

AT THE FAIR

Much enjoyment was had at Kamers Lourensford.

TOKARA

In Helshoogte Pass near Stellenbosch, Tokara Wine Farm has a sculpture garden in which some of Sarel Petrus's latest works are on exhibition.

WHAT AN EVENT

y




Ace and Paisley General Dealers at Kamersvol Geskenke, Lourensford. What an event!

RED SHADOW

CHINACAT

Ace and Paisley General Dealers will be launching a range of items at KAMERSVOL GESKENKE at the Somerset West estate of Lourensford next week. Sway will also be there. So will everybody else. Rumour has it that Ace and Paisley have launced on Facebook. FACEBOOK.

ON MY BED

Cat, who lives next door, spends her days on my bed. She silently arrives in the morning after her humans have left for work; she leaves in the afternoons before they return. Timeshare in its original form.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Portrait of an African Grey, quite unfinished, and a new print for Sway, titled STARLING, which may or may not make it for Winter 2012. Who knows.

CHINABIRDS

Two paintings on my easel; both for Kamersvol Geskenke, which happens at Lourensford in Somerset West at the end of this month. Many moons ago, I used to sell embroidered clothes at Magnolia Dell in Pretoria, and had a great time. Kamersvol is a new incarnation of exactly that kind of market; I hope to have a great time once again. Selling paintings this time, at a stand called Ace & Paisley General Dealers.

RENOSTERVELD

Two colour tee shirt print for Sway.

NEW PAINTING

Conversation II.

SPRINGTIME

in Cape Town. Both sides of the Track exhibition now in its last week at Alex Hamilton Gallery, and Lion's Head.

PAISLEY

Paisley as seen through the stylus of my new graphics tablet.

SWANS AND GNOMES

are welcome in my garden. The opal basil did not make it through winter, though, and has been replaced with some hardy succulents which, it is hoped, may just make it through the coming summer. Realism sets in.

CHAMELEON

A granny print design for Sway Winter 2012.

BOTH SIDES OF THE TRACK

Paintings by Antoinette du Plessis on the exhibition BOTH SIDES OF THE TRACK, hosted by Alex Hamilton Gallery in Woodstock.

CAPE SPARROW

Purple sparrow red flower and a smile.

CATS

have become a favourite subject.

MOON FLOWERS

NEW FLORAL

New floral for Sway on the drawing table. Still in early stage and bound to change quite a bit as work progresses.

RAMONA

Ramona, a bull terrier who has lived many lives. This time round, knitted by Ida.

LONG WEEKENDS

MAGNOLIA

ACE IS NOT AMUSED

DRAWING BOARD

This drawing board, now a terrifically old-fashioned item, was bought at an auction still in its original packaging; very seventies, pipe-smoking Cliff Richard lookalikes and all. What a find!

FLOOR TILES

Beautiful tiles adorn the entrance of a Woodstock art gallery, previously a pharmacy, reminding one of floors in Havana. Not that one has been to Havana, but one has a book about Havanese floor tiles, and one has seen movies about life over there.

WOODSTOCK SIGN WRITER

In Woodstock yesterday I met Celestin, who came to Cape Town from DRC about four years ago, while he was painting pictures on a new shop front. Quite cool, I thought.

MILTON GLASER

would, no doubt, have done the same.
