'Kalk Bay Harbour, Early Evening' - Mike Forrester

Dimensions: 48 x 87 cm (19 x 34 in)

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Behold the nostalgic charm of the Kalk Bay Harbour captured in the fading light with this evocative original oil painting, titled 'Kalk Bay Harbour, Early Evening' by the contemporary South African artist Mike Forrester. This piece offers a wide-angle perspective of the historic fishing port on False Bay, just as the day transitions to night.

The horizontal canvas measures 48 cm (Height) x 87 cm (Width). The composition is strongly divided between the serene water and the bustling town beneath the massive mountain backdrop. The harbour water dominates the foreground, painted in deep blues and blacks, acting as a mirror to the town's lights and the colourful fishing vessels moored at the quay. The reflections are long and slightly distorted, conveying the stillness and moisture of the early evening atmosphere.

The middle ground showcases the brightly painted fishing boats and the architecture of the coastal town. Above, the steep, rugged slope of the Kalk Bay mountain rises dramatically against the deep blue sky, asserting the scene's distinctive Cape Town geography. This outstanding Mike Forrester oil painting is a premier example of South African coastal art and townscape realism, perfect for collectors of Cape Town art who seek atmospheric and vibrant maritime scenes.
