The last couple of commissions from the Starry Nights over False Bay exhibition, wrapped and ready to go to their new homes. #treknet#starrynightsoverfalsebay #painting
Happy belated New Year and some wise words from my new desk calendar. If I could only stick to this.
My Starry Nights over False Bay Exhibition at the end of last year was an overwhelming success. Thank you to everyone who come to the opening night or popped in during the following week. Now it's back to the drawing board, as it were.
All the very best for 2017! g

We had an awesome opening night at my Starry Nights over False Bay. Thank you to everyone who turned out and to those who bought my artwork. You are all Awesome!
I will be working from the gallery today and the rest of this week from 9am to 1pm, so please pop in and say hi if you are in the area. The Arthaus is 3 Belmont Street, just off the main road Kalk Bay, opposite the Brass Bell subway. Hope to see you.

Apologies for the lack of updates this month, I've been pretty busy putting the finishing touches to my Starry Night over False Bay exhibition this weekend. Here are a few 'work in progress' pics in the meantime. If you are in Cape Town this weekend, pop down to the Arthaus, Kalk Bay on Saturday at 6pm for the opening.
Conditions Clear....or are they?
