About this work
This painting came from one of my first trips to the beach in Knysna, at the Leisure Island Green Hole (Green Cove) picnic and braai area. Some teens were showing me gang signs while families nearby were eating, drinking, and swimming, and that strange harmony stayed with me. I let the paint bleed wide across the canvas, maybe because of my advertising background, until the wandering spirit of the place started to show.
