About "Mine Dump Castles 1974"

These fascinating seemingly abstract sculptures are shaped by the sun, wind and rain. The reflections are also unique due to the chemical content in the water. These mine dumps no longer exist, as many had been processed again to extract the remnants of gold. Also, the mine dumps in the Johannesburg and surrounding areas had thereafter been planted with a type of grass, if I am not mistaken, imported from elsewhere, to reduce the dust contamination all round.
These 3 paintings are most suitable for mining companies' office environments etc.

About El

Ella came from Germany to South Africa as a child in 1951 to live with relatives. She received her basic education in Johannesburg.
In the early 80's Ella started taking some art lessons on and off. She exhibited on occasions with the 'Artists under the Sun' at the Zoo Lake, selling some of her landscapes and still life paintings. Art had still remained a hobby during the 90's, running a B & B Guest House in Honeydew, plus a part-time accounting job. The Pool House Gallery, where guests enjoyed their breakfasts, had given exposure to her paintings. This had frequently lead to interesting commissions requested by guests.
During 2003, after 41 years, Ella and her family relocated to the beautiful Hartbeespoort valley to retire. Ella's favourite subjects are genuine well-known SA landscapes of the Drakensberg, Cape, Pilgrimsrest, specific waterfalls, marine life, interesting rock formations of the Cedarberg and Cango caves.
A question frequently asked: "How do you describe your art?" Ella's answer: "I prefer to leave the description to the viewer. However, my sincere aim is essentially, to capture any kind of beauty, which may touch the viewers emotions in some or other way. May I succeed!
