Already the end of April?
April 29 - Last night in Port Elizabeth. Tomorrow morning, I will drive 4 hours north to Ganora Guest Farm, saying goodbye to Addo and the Port Elizabeth area. It has been an amazing visit in lots of different ways. The Kraal guesthouse was a little challenging on a few fronts. My arrival appeared to be at an inconvenient time for the hosts. That said, after a confusing few days, we agreed I would spend my time painting small murals on the walls of four new guest units. Instead of the required 5 hours/5 days each week, I started work around 8 and finished around 5 every day until I was sure I would complete the project. Painting on concrete presented some new challenges and learning opportunities. In the end, I was happy with the result and the owner appreciated the effort and the art. Each room is named for a citrus variety and that defined the painting. Then I added a mock frame to give the illusion of a hung painting. I added regional birds and a butterfly to balance the painting
