Stellenbosch

Paul and I recently spent a few days in Stellenbosch and camped in a forest just outside of town surrounded by the wine estates.




We slept out and watched the stars through the forest canopy. And in the afternoon napped (after a considerable amount of wine tasting) with the sun streaming through the trees.

So I had to paint it. Works in progress using grisaille again and concentrating on tones on a coloured background with silk screened hand drawn images and patterns and a burnt sienna glaze







 I love the way the colour comes through from underneath






and how the silk screened images and patterns show in some areas
