Baboons at June's

While painting in June's garden, a troop of baboons graced us with a visit. Gerda seems oblivious to the young onlooker on the light behind her and Doreen not going to let anything break her concentration.

The artists decided to do a spot of "Life drawing" but the models were not interested in keeping still!

This curious baboon decided to have a taste of the paint on Gerda's palette!

Painting at Oude Molen

Plein Air painters are often a fascination, attracting interested visitors with many questions and well-meant advice! This four-legged nosy-parker fairly startled Lyn Northam while painting at the Oude Molen farm near Pinelands in Cape Town.
