Forest path


W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm

A path leading through the Blue gum forest on our smallholding (Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa). Walking this trail, I often discover little treasures like rabbits, hedgehogs, tortoises, lots of insects, little wild flowers and the odd snake. We’ve had many enquiries from people wanting to cut the bush down for the wood, but have always declined as many birds call this blue gum bush their home, a little sanctuary as the area gets more and more built up.

  1. Thank goodness you didn't let them cut the trees down. All that wonderful wildlife destroyed.

    1. Many thanks Barbara! Yes, that would surely have been a sin, every tree gives life to our planet.
