I love having art around me. A piece to appreciate. Its the same as music, flowers, wine and jewelry. It makes me happy like a freshly made bed Gianfanelli’s sculpture in Hermanus or that first coffee in the morning. I also like how I have learnt so much from reading up in art work or… Read More Art and About
Its Hermanus FynArts time and we look forward to 10 days of all things art. Right here in the Overberg. No driving! One of my favourites on the programme is the sculptures on the cliff path. Art and nature interlinked for outdoor appreciation. This year the theme is THE HUMAN FIGURE and Gearing’s Point is… Read More Sculptures on the Hermanus Cliff Path
What is more inspiring than walking down an average street and suddenly seeing a painting on the wall?

Finally. After presenting the Zeitz MOCAA in Germany last year I got to see the real deal yesterday. I have tried but managed to get this V&A Waterfront arts destination closed on both occasions.

He opened an… Read More Willie Botha Sculptor & Artist
On Day One of Tourism Month I put art on my empty walls. It was time to start filling the void. It was Spring Day. It was Hermanus Art Walk. And Leon Muller of Art Thirst had an auction. It was time…
Now, the Cape Whale Coast really has it all. The addition of rock art at Phillipskop Mountain Reserve just outside Stanford in the Overberg adds further diversity to the tourism tableau of this area. Having achieved heritage status Stanford didn’t need further recognition but got it any way. Rock art images were discovered on Phillipskop Mountain Reserve on Easter Saturday… Read More Phillipskop Rock Art & Heritage
Any weekend on the Cape Whale Coast could be relaxing or exciting – whichever way you plan it. It never has to be boring.

“A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible”. This Welsh saying caught my eye while scribbling on a notepad at Old Mac Daddy‘s. I liked it. It also rings true of the unseen valleys and wineries that unfold if you turn off the N2 between Houw Hoek and Grabouw. Only an hour from Cape Town.… Read More Elgin Country Escape – Wine & Adventure
