window at the cedars

This photo was taken at the home of famous Australian artist Hans Heysen. It is called ‘The Cedars’ and is located at Hahndorf, South Australia. He painted one of his best known paintings at this very spot – of his wife using the sewing machine at the window. In the moment I was there, I felt the same sense of tranquility that comes through in the painting – and tried to capture it with my camera.

    Captured it well… certainly is a wonderful place to visit… the house itself, Heysen’s Art Studio and the garden and surrounds… it is a “MUST SEE” for any visitor to Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills.

    Well done!

    Perhaps you could add a bit more info about its location near Hahndorf in your description text!

  • eramophla replied

    That’s if I can remember. It’s beena while since I’ve been there!
