Knysna

A coastal scene rendered in luminous acrylic, depicting a solitary red boat resting on shallow waters at dusk. The composition balances a distant shoreline with mountains silhouetted against a dramatic sky, where gold and cream light breaks through violet cloud. The artist employs loose, gestural brushwork to capture the interplay of light and reflection across the water’s surface. Van Rensburg’s shift to acrylic in the 1990s enabled a more expansive approach to landscape, evident here in the confident handling of atmospheric effects.
