Painting Holiday in South Africa Print E-mail
Page 1 of 4
The trip to South Africa in 2007 was not one of our strenuous trips, in fact it was luxurious in the extreme. Our first location was Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse in the Drakensberg Mountains. The award winning owner/chef Richard Poynton regaled us each evening with mouth-watering descriptions of the evening's menu and he did not exaggerate. Our meals were accompanied by the singing of the weaver birds outside the dining room window. They made fascinating sketching models along with the surrounding crags and peaks.

 
 

We moved to the Cathedral Peak area further into the Drakensberg range and visited some of the cave paintings of the San people. 

The birdlife in the gardens of the hotel and nearby was a delight and although painting birds was not one of our main objectives they were impossible to resist.
