Picture of the month

The Gardener

Diederick's paintings often show the everyday workings of the Cape Malay peoples

set in erstwhile Western Cape rural or urban scenes.

While simple in form and uncomplicated in content, his paintings are filled with expression.

This gardener, although seemingly a little less than enthusiastic,

is accepting of his lot, and plods on to the next task of his endless day.

Painted in about 1980

 

It has taken too long for a website to emerge to give Diederick the WWW exposure he deserves

Enjoy this tribute to him
