Dimensions: 45 x 96 cm (18 x 38 in)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Discover the bustling charm and vibrant colours of the Kalk Bay Harbour in this superb original oil painting, titled 'Afternoon at Kalk Bay Harbour' by the contemporary South African artist Mike Forrester. This piece captures the dynamic energy and unique atmosphere of this beloved fishing port on False Bay.

The horizontal canvas measures 45 cm (Height) x 96 cm (Width). The composition is rich with detail, focusing on the densely packed fishing vessels moored in the dark blue water. Forrester masterfully uses a palette of vibrant colours—pinks, turquoises, purples, and blues—to depict the painted hulls and cabins of the boats, reflecting the maritime character of the area.

The scene features excellent handling of light and reflection: the harbour water shimmers with the distorted mirror images of the boats and the densely built coastal town cascading up the steep, green slope of the mountain in the background. The detailed rendering of the houses and the lush vegetation provides a strong sense of place. This outstanding Mike Forrester oil painting is a premier example of South African townscape art and coastal realism, perfect for collectors of Cape Town art who appreciate nostalgic and colourful urban scenes
