Lovely painting David.

Tremendous sense of place, David!

Like this a great deal David.

Your title reminds me of a song - can’t remember which one. Lovely painting David. Have you seen the rock and cave art, thousands of years’ old in that mountain range? Read about it somewhere.

Yes Carole - have seen the rock art. Some of the best is to be found in the Giant's Castle Nature reserve.

Captures the spirit perfectly

Takes me back to my trip there. You've captured the essence of the place.

Very good David as are all your postings today ! Good narrative about the ponies.

A watercolour I have just completed of riders on Basutho Ponies in the foothills of the Drakensberg in South Africa. Basutho ponies are much used in this vicinity as they are extremely nimble footed!!
