About "Autumn Splendour" Alvera remembered how in autumn, the rivers in the Rhodesian bush flood after the sudden downpours that create flash floods. One day sitting at the edge of the river waiting for the waters to subside so that thy could cross in their car, Alvera turned to her husband and said, "I am watching the water, how it swirls and eddies and flows. One day I will paint this experience. Here is that painting! |
