About "Sparse Tranquility"

The small herd of Springbok graze undisturbed in the sparse openeness of the Karoo escarpment. The dry Karoo grass and semi-desert plants sustain these nomads of Southern Africa. A lone thorn tree which has survived many years of cold, heat and winds stand testimony to the resilience of the flora of the harsh Karoo region of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The rocky Karoo "Koppies" (hilocks) and mountains rise dramatically in contrast to the "veld". The storm clouds build up and reflect brilliant yellow and orange which coats the terrein in a golden hue as the sun dwindles in the west.

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.
