Oil on canvas 150cmx90cm.
(From a photo by Hesta)

The joy of painting on a large canvas, my hands cramping from the extra work.

From the cupboard, the box of crazy Ferrario paint (Zinc yellow, Monaco madder, Green earth ancient, sepia, Zinc green, Turquoise, Copt motun, Paris blue.) bought as a lot in England a dozen years ago, adds its own inspiration

The turquoise colour finding its home in the painting of Dwarsriver. A flash of Cézanne?

The first of the spring Watsonia’s demanding a place in the painting. The pink flowers echoing the pink in the rock formation.
