Notes

Bosomsoomde, Rivier in Suid Kaap Land, is an exceptional work. Painted in the Southern Cape, this work is reminiscent of the artist’s verdant Pondo river landscapes near Port St Johns. Here the wooded hillsides, rendered in receding blue and green tones, are contrasted against the red-edged, tannin-streaked river, with dramatically lit cream sandbanks.
