The Tower
This stunning painting captures the essence of rural life with a pastoral scene of two recently shorn sheep standing on a golden field with a grain silo towering in the distance. The scene was observed on a summer day while driving along the dirt road between Helderstroom village and Greyton. Created using acrylic on canvas and measuring 90x70cm, the painting is large enough to showcase the beauty of the landscape and the freshly shorn sheep's coats. The use of color and brushstrokes conveys the essence of the golden field and the texture of the sheep's skin, while the grain silo provides a sense of scale and contrast to the scene. The painting captures a moment in time, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times. This painting is a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life, and the importance of appreciating the beauty of the world around us.
