Little Switzerland in the Drakensberge
8*10" Print on Silver Gelatin Paper
For sale for $20  

These prints are printed by hand from a 35mm negative. Yes, Old School. There is something mysterious about waiting for a print to appear in the developer, and then to patiently wait for the Stop Bath and Fixer before you can take it out in the light .... and really look at it. I can still smell the smells of a darkroom when I close my eyes.

New Happenings.


Hi There,

I would like to invite you to follow my blog. Here is a link that explains the two ways that you can follow a blog.

Please let me know if you have any difficulty doing so I am not a computer wizz but I can try.

You are also invited to the Alberta Beach Public Library where I have a little display of paintings and mural Black and White photographic prints.

The image that is stimulating your visual senses on the top of this post is a picture of a Wildebeest that I took in Pilanesberg.

Until next time soon!
Sepela Gabotse!

In die Karoo: Sleutelfontein


16*20
Oil on Canvas
$150

While in South Africa last year we visited my uncles' farm Sleutel fontein. The beauty of the Karoo is so simple. It almost resembles the Prairies, but with cooler looking trees, like the one in the painting. I believe it is a Bloekom Boom.
