About "Remnant of Red Location #2"

Red Location is one of the oldest townships in South Africa, located in New Brighton, Nelson Mandela Bay, Eastern Cape.
It is called Red Location because of the deep red, rust-coloured, red oxide painted corrugated iron. These structures were built using re-constructed, salvaged corrugated iron that was originally part of a Boer concentration camp in Uitenhage which were moved to the site in 1900.
Established around 1902, the area was the first official housing scheme for black residents in Port Elizabeth, often described as the "umbilical cord" of the surrounding New Brighton township.

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
