Original Oil paintings of the Karoo, South Africa
I'm Tracy Algar, a landscape painter working from my studio in Aberdeen, in the heart of the Karoo. Each painting is an original, one-off piece in oil on board (not a print or reproduction), painted from life or from reference gathered on location in this stark, dramatic landscape. My work focuses on capturing the particular quality of light and space you find in the Karoo: big skies, farmhouses, dusty roads, mountains that shift colour through the day.
Commissions
If you'd like a painting of a specific place, your own view of the Karoo, or another landscape that means something to you, I take on a limited number of commissions each year.
