Sunset over Cape Town - Oil Paintingby Avril Brand
Oils on canvas. Cape Town, the city of my birth. Dusk falling and the lights are coming on under the shadow of the great mountain where I was born.
When the ‘table cloth’ forms over the mountain, Van Hunks and the old devil are smoking their pipes like crazy in a never ending competition and the cloth of cloud falls over the table like a waterfall. (old legend).
The sky is clear over the mountain here today and the sea becomes black and purple as the light shifts. The view is from Blauwberg Strand.
