In the Pink
In October 2024 I participated in our third Salon 104 group exhibition - In the Pink. Our show title was inspired by an experience many of us shared when we spent days and weeks on the farm Aswater just outside Prince Albert in the Karoo, 5 hours’ drive east of Cape Town.
The experience of being together, painting together, having impromptu “salons” of meaningful conversation, support and encouragement for our art making, challenging each other and ourselves, and so many meals shared…. It was a microcosm of what it means to be part of Salon 104. Fifteen members from Salon 104 participated in this show, and creating alongside so many talented artists is an honour and an inspiration.
My paintings for the show were all painted en plein air at Aswater and in the surrounding hills, fields and the Swartberg Pass! As you can see from the photos below, it was very, very cold!!
