The drawing competition is on Thursday and I had no idea what to do for it. Flight of Fancy is very difficult for a reasonably well grounded Capricorn, and that is the subject! I started drawing my little dog and then got carried away with fairies etc. Maybe not so well grounded! The closer you look the more you will see.
Very strange and rather amusing drawing I think.
While I have been drawing fairies, Cape Town is once again burning. Yes, it is February and our winelands are taking a beating. Three winefarms in Somerset West have had extensive damage done to them and we are choking on the ash that has blown towards Table Mountain. Today helicopters have been grounded due to bad weather conditions and my house looks like a giant with dandruff has had a good shake of this head!

This view is from across the bay in Blouberg. We live on the other side of the mountain. In other words, at the back of it. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are just down the road. I still have to paint this monsterous beautiful mountain of ours!
Good luck for Thursday. Wish I could see them all. Take pics for me please.
Laurensford, Vergelegen and I can't remember the other farm. This afternoon apparently one started up in Deer Park - above Vredehoek in Town. I have been plein air painting so not listened to much cape talk.
As the official photographer I will be taking a lot of photos!
February is a bad month for fires when everything is so dry. I have been away, so did not hear about the three winefarms. My veranda looked like it had dandruff when I got back, now I know why!
There has been surprisingly little in the press about the fires. Not sure why and no I have not been out there. The weather has been unbelievably hot and busy!
Hi Dianne
Thanks - at the competition no one even saw the fairies! Lynn N said that I should have had a label saying - how many fairies can you spot!
Yes, in the Argus calander, the February page is a photo of Cape Town burning. Hope you had a wonderful time with your granddaughter. They grow up so fast. Hope to see you at the demo on Thursday.
