Karoo Paintings


 Mount Melsetter, Karoo House and Hunt  35cm x 44cm    Not for Sale

This lovely estate in the Karoo near Middleberg, belongs to friends.  One year, after leaving them, we cracked our cylinder head and had to buy a new engine.  My husband had to bus home to Zimbabwe while my daughter and I remained behind for a couple of weeks.  We enjoyed the kind hospitality of the community who went out of their way to welcome us.



  Tafelberg, Karoo 25cm x 35 cm    SOLD

Mt Melsetter is part of the estate and traditionally, with guests and hunters, a quiet time
with 'sundowner' drinks is spent on the hill slope with views all around of the dramatic play of lights and shadows and, depending on the weather, dramatic cloud effects.


 41. Teebus and Koffiebus 25 cm x 35 cm    $150  unframed

The blue mesas in the distance are affectionately known as Teapot and Coffee Pot in the
Afrikaans language




 38. Road from Temple Farm, Schoombee 35cm x 43cm   $350 unframed

We had visited Temple Farm and returned in the evening.  As a result of the
Gariep Dam which provides irrigation to farming ventures  via the Fish River
transfer tunnel, this farm is well watered and essential oils are grown there. Flowers and grape vines 
abound in the gardens around the house which is built where a staging post used to be.

This was the same evening, a view nearer home of the mountain called after a table.

Another view across the estate of the same two hills and the changing light
