Forgive dear reader your blogger’s absence. I took off to Stellenbosch to see if maybe I could find Harry Kalmer there and bliksem him after those nasty things he said about my paintings but no such luck all I saw was a whole lot of Dylan Lewis sculptures which didn’t really help so I went up the road to Jonkershoek and did a watercolour of Pierneef’s mountain in the late Autumn sun (and I would show it to you if my computer was working properly…)

J H Pierneef’s Station Panels are cornerstones of South African landscape painting. They were placed in the old Johannesburg Station as adverts to travel the country.
But did these alluring places ever really exist? And how have they changed?
Taking up the invitation to travel 80 years later, Carl Becker set off to find out.
