The first, in the afternoon, was the opening of the exhibition (Water-) Colours
Of The Karoo by Curt Marthezé with 14 exquisite new watercolour paintings, beautifully presented in stylish framing by the artist himself.
The opening was well attended by art lovers from Aberdeen, Graaff Reinet and the wider surrounds, who enjoyed discussing the works with the artist. Two pictures were sold on the same day.
