Art was not something everyone could afford when I was a child. I always longed for the day when I could have my own home with lots of beautiful paintings.
Many years ago, when I was till a young student, I visited friends who knew the artist Bettie Cilliers-Barnard personally and were fortunate to have quite a few of her paintings in their little cottage. The furnishings were not expensive but well put together and the paintings made it a wonderful place to be.

| In the gallery... |
This morning an elderly gentleman from Alberton visited the gallery and it was an absolute delight to show him around the gallery, because he appreciated the art we show so much. He told me about all the art books in his collection and his love for art and all things beautiful. He is going to bring his wife in later today.
I pray that I will never get to a stage where I won't be able to appreciate beauty anymore. I want to be surrounded by art and beauty until my last day. I am so lucky to be surrounded with art all day!
