Description

The painting titled “Afternoon Sun”, created by Hilton Jackson, captures a serene and nostalgic rural scene in acrylic on canvas (297mm x 420mm). The piece portrays a peaceful, sunlit afternoon outside a simple whitewashed house, typical of South African farmsteads.

In the foreground, a family sits casually, enjoying the warmth of the day—two women, a child, and two men, each painted with a sense of ease and contentment. Their vibrant clothing adds life to the image, contrasting with the muted tones of the house and the surrounding earth. Off to the right, laundry sways gently on the line, catching the afternoon breeze, and a dog rests lazily at the family’s feet.

In the background, the tall green trees stand under a bright blue sky, enhancing the feeling of tranquility. The red accents on the house’s windows and roof add a bold yet harmonious touch to the composition. The overall mood of this painting evokes a sense of quiet family life in the countryside, bathed in the gentle light of the setting sun.

This artwork is available for R2500 and is a beautiful addition to any collection, reflecting the essence of rural life in the Garden Route region.
