Landscape Painting Retreat- Stanford Valley Guest Farm
May 13th marked the end of an intense 3 day landscape painting retreat ReidsArt held Stanford Valley Guest Farm! The students worked diligently, and saw major improvements in their landscape paintings under Chris’s tutelage. Special thanks to the venue for allowing us to hold the workshop there. We also enjoyed delicious food at their on site restaurant- The Manor House.
Chardonnay Deli Exhibition- May 1- 31
Chris’s month-long exhibition at Chardonnay Deli in Constantia got lots of compliments! We love the relaxed vibe there, and were happy to decorate one of their dining rooms with some of Chris’s paintings. “A Bunch Of Variety” was the unanimous favorite by the staff. The work was displayed from May 1st- 31st.

Vergenoegd Wine Estate Plein Air Outing With Urban Sketchers
Chris met with the Stellenbosch Urban Sketchers today for some plein air painting. One of the highlights of the morning was the duck parade, which consists of vineyard staff parading 1400 ducks through the estate. The ducks are an integral part of keeping the vineyard in good condition by aiding in pest control by consuming snails and bugs on their daily patrols.
