Background
The Eerste River rises in the Boland mountains, flows in tributaries around the head of the Jonkershoek valley. The river picks up volume on the way and becomes a sparkling giver of life through Stellenbosch town. This collection includes some other watercolours I created for the 2025 Fine Art Watercolour Calendar. I will move these to the relevant postings as 2025 progresses.
