(c) House

A solitary dwelling occupies the centre of an austere landscape, its weathered walls rendered in pale ochre and cream against a vast, barren terrain. The composition emphasises the building’s isolation and material decay—exposed brickwork, a rust-stained roof—rendered with careful attention to how light articulates form and structure. The surrounding earth bleeds into a hazy horizon in warm yellows and browns. Du Toit’s classical impressionistic approach employs oil on board to capture the quiet dignity of an abandoned structure.
