An ancient place full of folklore

Africa is a land of so many contrasts- incredible deserts, tropical forests, mountain ranges and a vast open sky. Minerals abound like no other place on Earth.
It is the great Atlantic ocean that meet the western coast of Southern Africa areas where such magnificent storms occur. I'm sure in a lot of places no one even gets to see the magnificence of Nature 's force. Each day in Hout Bay the weather changes so drastically in 24 hours.

Using a dark heavy grey browns and whites over a bed of texture plaster adds to the feeling of drama and force. The shapes of the clouds are made out in the raised curve streaks like a cloud is....full of water vapour while the land and water are a mix of textured to denote the shape of the relief of the land
