The last Saturday of August was also the last of Falling Mirror‘s ‘TRUTH Sessions’, a consecutive series of Saturday night shows at TRUTH Coffeecult in Buitenkant Street.
I started this painting back in 2009…well, I say ‘started’ but really I just did the vaguest of backgrounds and then left the board to stand around gathering dust (and a shocking amount of cat fur…) for 4 years.
I’m really pleased to finally have finished it! Though it was a mission to paint because I don’t have an easel and so had to do most of it lying on the floor. Think it’s definitely time I rectify that.
Oil & acrylic on masonite board, 1.2 x 0.8 m

An annual harbinger of Spring, the carpets of flowers that decorate the West Coast (usually from late July/August onward, depending on the weather) are really special, beautiful and always worth visiting. I spent some time in Langebaan and Saldanha last week doing just that…
I’m so glad that once again those in Cape Town who weren’t heading to Oppikoppi were given the chance to see the festival’s international headliners on one night at Grand West casino, and this year those headliners were Manchester Orchestra, Yellowcard and the epic Deftones.
