This acrylic painting, "Golden Vineyard" depicts autumn at the Jordan Winery in Stellenbosh, near Cape Town. The painting captures the light of the soon setting sun on the rust and gold of the autumn leaves of the rows of grape leaves in the foreground and on the orderly vineyard on the left side of the painting. The wind driven sky is reflected in the water reservoirs adding yet another focal point.
This beautiful painting has won Top Awards, (1st, 2nd or 3rd Place) in the following international competitions: “Inspiration for Autumn,””Landscape Art,” “Autumn Has Arrived,” “Autumn and Winter Paintings,” “ Autumn Colours,” “Fruit of the Vine,”Paintings of Autumn Colours, and “Best Vineyard Book Cover.”

It could be used as a beautiful decorative piece or for meditation or just to create a sense of peace and harmony. As a psychologist and heart-centered therapist, Dr. Durst, as always, has created visual experiences to connect to the heart.
This large artwork measures 84 cm by 62 cm by 5cm and is highly textured with many layers of acrylic paint and varnish to really bring out the contrasting colours and create a three dimensional effect.
The R5500 or best offer for the original painting is "direct from the artist" since gallery prices would be double or triple. It is "gallery-wrapped" i.e. painted on all sides, so a frame is not necessary. The artist has also created a hand-embossed Limited Edition print of “Jordan’s Golden View” with acrylic on canvas which is available for only R1500.00 in the same size.
This piece would look stunning in any room of the home or in an office or waiting room.
