‘Road Less Travelled’
(Painted on Watercolour paper)A trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa is “Food for the Soul”.
This less travelled road is near Punda Maria in the north of Kruger.I am extremely grateful that Shelley, my eldest daughter, and I were able to do this trip in July 2021. We made it an ‘art retreat’ holiday. My trip in 2020 was cancelled due to Covid-19.
I promised my late husband, he died in 2019 shortly after his 76th birthday, that I would continue to go to Kruger. He suffered lung problems due to inheriting Alpha-1 Anti Trypsin Deficiency. He had a wonderful positive attitude and a lovely sense of humour.
During his last 4 years we did the trip annually even though he was dependent on oxygen and on occasion a wheel chair.His dream was to see his wife and his 2 daughters painting. It was a wonderful experience going down memory lane and showing Shelley all the places, her father and I had been.
