“The paintings in this series were completed during a visit to family in the scenic Southern Cape of South Africa. My dad (www.artist-barryodendaal.co.za) and I took on the project, and each completed three paintings during my visit. After each version was completed, we would take notes on what improvements or changes we would make in the next.”
“As with previous studies where multiple versions of the same topic were completed, I enjoyed the learning process and was quite satisfied with the variations of the final products.”
“There was no real planning done to set the scene. As usual, I improvised these scenes from a general concept I had in my head. Each bush and every mountain top came straight from the artist’s imagination, and now have their place on a canvas.” (said Wesley)

Revisiting a painting I did in 1990 – which I wanted to bin but my mom saved it – I decided to go there again and do justice to this scene…

Once again I used the “wet-on-wet: technique. This third painting in our short series of three, was again done with my son Wesley (www.artist-wesleyodendaal.co.za) doing his own 3rd version as we still shared studio space during a very special visit of this amazing guy – I call “my son”. This time Wesley worked with his no. 1 & 2 in mind … and I revisited a work done in 1990 (as per the short intro above).
We enjoyed doing this one – but again working from the heart on a marvelous day in the Southern Cape of South Africa..
One could spend a week fishing in these calm waters with a magnificent mountain back drop like that …

Once again I used the “wet-on-wet: technique propagated by Bill Alexander and Bob Ross at the end of the previous millennium. The painting was done without any reference to any specific place … and purely completed from the heart.
