“A young boy watches from an empty window As his soul slowly dies. No one told him it would be this hard No one was there when he cried.” (MATTHEW LEWIS)
I painted this window from a photograph taken by my son of an old mudbrick, derelict and abandoned farmhouse on the road to Witsand from the N2 Freeway in South Africa. When I left South Africa two years ago, the building had all but collapsed apart from a few broken walls still standing. There was an air of sadness there that pervaded everything.
I used 350mm x 500mm Canson Pastel Paper with Schminke and Faber Castell Pastels.

Thank you for that lovely comment Keith, it was an old farmhouse built from mudbricks and when I saw it for the last time two years ago, it had collapsed and very little was still standing.
