VERA VOLSCHENK WAS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED LANDSCAPE ARTIST WHOSE BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS REMAIN WITH US TO THIS DAY AS A SUPERB TESTAMENT TO SKILL AND BEAUTY IN ART. HER PAINTINGS ARE SOLD IN AUCTIONS BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY AND MANY ARE IN PVT COLLECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD
THIS SUPERB WORK BY THE ARTIST DEPICTS A LOVELY RURAL SETTING SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AFRICA WITH A SCENIC MOUNTAIN RANGE AS A BACKDROP TO A FANTASTIC LANDSCAPE OF BRIGHT OUTDOOR COLORS. A SMALL HOMESTEAD STANDS QUIETLY NESTLED AMONG CLUSTERS OF TALL AND SHADED GREEN TREES WITH A SMALL FOOTPATH WINDING SOFTLY TOWARDS THE VIEWER.
THE ART IS FRAMED IN A HAND CARVED VINTAGE FRAME WHICH IS CRAFTED WITH BAROQUE PATTERNS OF SCROLLS, LAUREL LEAF AND OTHER MOTIFS TOO BEAUTIFUL NOT TO DISPLAY WITH THE UTMOST PRIDE. THE FRAME IS ALREADY WIRED TO BE HUNG UP
