In the recent post entitled, ‘Karoo Interlude’, I mentioned that in my youth, on travels with my family we covered most of Rhodesia; (Zimbabwe) while researching the trees species that were my father’s particular interest. We often travelled in the area between Bulawayo and the Victoria Falls where large forests of Mopane, Teak and Mahogany grew abundantly, as well as many other beautiful trees. This watercolour is reminiscent of those wonderful forests and painting it was a deeply nostalgic process for me !

I really like the sytle you have used on this one and the incrediable amount of detail.
Thanks Sue, trees are an endless challenge, but it is a satisfying challenge !
Beautiful. Love the blue colour on the road.
What a pleasure for me to say that I am now the proud owner of this outstanding work “Road through the Mopanes”. Found its special place alongside the Big 5 which you did for me probably 20 years ago. Thank you very much Barbara.
Thank you for your message, I have only just discovered it ! I am glad that you are happy with the Mopane picture !
Nostalgic for me too, Barabara – beautiful painting!
