PRECIOUS INDEED.....

PRECIOUS CIRCLE & THE MANDELA'S RETURN HOME

MIXING (FAMILY) BUSINESS & PLEASURE 

On the 5th November 2013, (exactly one month before Mandela passed away) I delivered 54 art pieces for my solo exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum. 

PRECIOUS CIRCLE: 50 Pieces

REBIRTH 
GOD BLESS MADIBA &
MANDALA MANDELA 
& an oil titled:
UNITED AT LAST IN THE CAUSE OF PEACE 

 Now, 3 years later, on the 5th January 2016, my daughter Saskia, graciously offered to help me pack and transport them back home. We hardly have time to visit each other and this was one of her rare days off duty. Her two boys, William and Andrew were on vacation and it was an ideal time for the 4 of us to spend a chunk of time together, the boys to have a cultural boost and some urgent work to get done.

No playing around when you need to get things done. 
Slowly but surely getting there

Who ever said being an artist means glamour or being able to spend all your time in front of an easel? It's all lot's and lots of hard work....

At last, after 3 solid hours of hard labor, all is finally ready
to be gently moved to our vehicles and then carefully transported back home.
