RARE VINTAGE GALLERY ART -- FRAMED MIXED MEDIA (WC / GOUACHE) PAINTING -- LANDSCAPE ART - SIGNED / DATED / TITLED
A SUPERB COLLECTABLE AND DECORATIVE WORK OF ART PAINTED ON ARTISTIC PAPER, THEN PLACED UPON A SEPARATE GALLERY PAPER BEFORE FRAMING.
THE PAINTING HAS BEEN EXECUTED IN A BRILLIANT MIXED MEDIA VARIETY WITH WATERCOLORS AND GOUACHE (GOUACHE BEING THE PORTIONS OF THE PAINTING WHERE THE ARTIST USED MORE OPAQUE - LESS TRANSPARENT THAN THE AREAS WHERE WATERCOLOR HAS BEEN UTILIZED). THIS SUBTLE AND SKILLED USE OF THE TWO MEDIA HAS CREATED A SPLENDID REALISM TO THE COLORS AND SHADOWS ALONG WITH A MAGNIFICENT PLAY OF LIGHT. THE ARTIST HAS PAINTED A SECTION OF THE MOKOLO RIVER KNOWN AS LOSPAN CLOSE TO THE SMALL TOWN OF VAALWATER IN LIMPOPO. THE AREA IS IN THE HEART OF THE WATERBERG DISTRICT AND IS CONSIDERED THE CENTRAL TOWN OF THE "BUSHVELD" REGION.
THE PAINTING DEPICTS A BREATHTAKING VIEW UP THE WINDING RIVER TOWARD THE SMALL HILLS/KOPPIES IN THE DISTANCE.
