It’s the weekend baby!
And on our way to a piece of heaven we took to the gorgeous autumn fields and reconnected with our inner child for a while. The weather was changing fast and the wind swept over the grasslands to lend wings to our feet as we skipped across the green grass.
That was after we had a bit of fun in the kosmos that lined the dirt road.
We even managed to drag the reluctant photographer who usually hides behind the camera into the flowers for a beautiful picture!
Spectacular clouds lined the sky and we just managed to unload our luggage before a few fat raindrops started falling from the sky. A hearty dinner set the tone for a relaxed evening spent by the soft light of the lanterns and we went to bed looking forward to the creative buzz on Saturday.
Saturday was spent creating texture, paint washes, dry-brushing, highlighting and every technique you can think of. It was amazing to see everybody’s canvas taking on colour and texture and become a work of art!
All the projects are not completed yet, so we will keep them under wraps until they are ready to showcase here 😉
The sunset on Saturday was amazing because of thunder clouds low on the western horizon and the temperature dropped considerably. During the night it rained and the fog rolled in so that we woke up on Sunday to white fog hugging the cabin. But before long the fog started clearing and by the time we were packed and ready to return home the seed-laden grass were basking in the morning sun.
Before finally departing Riani suggested that we take the girls to the lookout point to show them the beautiful view of the escarpment dropping away to the valley deep down below.
Everybody agreed that the next getaway needs to be longer so we can spend more time outdoors to enjoy the beautiful scenery. So watch this space and don’t miss out on our next extended creative getaway in March 2013
