Pairing of paint and wine adds a splash of joy to Mother's Day
Pairing of paint and wine adds a splash of joy to Mother's Day
Pretoria's moms were celebrated this weekend, some in real style – as the weather held, many families gathered outside to enjoy a relaxed and cheerful Mother's Day, one of these were the Create, Paint & Sip Mother's Day event hosted at Villa Barranco in Waterkloof Glen.
Friends, mothers, and daughters came together to enjoy a casual afternoon of painting, sipping wine, and spending quality time in the sun.
Guests were welcomed with the freedom to choose from a variety of canvasses. Some followed outlines while others let their creativity run wild, turning blank spaces into colourful expressions of the day.
The atmosphere was light and social, filled with conversation, laughter, and encouragement between tables. It wasn't about skill, but about enjoying the process and sharing the experience with loved ones.
As paintings were completed, each participant posed proudly with their artwork, capturing the moment with smiles and snapshots. It became a playful highlight of the afternoon – everyone celebrating their personal masterpiece, no matter the style.

Another showstopper by Patlansky
When you know your blues and have seen a Dan Patlansky show or two, you may have certain expectations of a full band show. There is acoustic blues and electric blues, and on both of these counts, this man is a master. His previous show was a smooth dance between haunting and rollicking songs. But this one: the full band tour finale at Menlyn Barnyard this past weekend, took the tunes (and riffs, and lyrics, and solos) to new heights. And by his own admission, he is a Stevie Ray Vaughn follower, but he seems to have made some of SRV's DNA his own – with his original tribute Red Velvet Suit, which, fittingly, kicked the show off in top gear. Patlansky refers to Philip Sayce's style as 'a relentless barrage of soul and power'. This actually describes his own musical style, from my perspective. Even the ballads that sweep more than they tug are simultaneously soulful and powerful. As Rekord's Elize Parker remarked at the time of the launch of his latest album Movin' On last year, his versatility lies in how smoothly he can move from one mood to the next. And that he did in his inimitable style during this full band show. Band members bass player Greg van Kerkhof and drummer Andy Maritz are in their own right of international standard, like Patlansky. And their seamless interaction made the evening a rip (or should I say riff) roaring rollercoaster of top-notch music. Their riveting playing at times almost lifted the roof, only to be taken down again by the likes of 'Movin' On'… a soulful song that tells how Patlansky's father always pointed to the truth of just moving on, even though times can be tough. Watch a video where Patlansky performs 'Movin' On': 'Who I am' is a touching song described by a friend as 'I can feel my car wheels under me when I hear it'. Watch: During the show, some songs from his Influencer set also charmed the audience, who were hanging on the music every note of the way. Although Patlansky did not do a full-on behind-the-head guitar trick a-la-Jimmy Hendricks, those who were paying attention saw him playing a full song with only one hand. That's the thing with blues guitarists. They will never stop pushing the boundaries and experimenting with drawing sound from their guitars, making their audience gasp in awe. Patlansky remains Pretoria's top international blues artist. His album Movin' On, launched last year, was voted into the number three spot in the annual Blues Rock Review top 20 albums. In this, he pipped blues greats like Philip Sayce in 14th spot and Marc Broussard in 17th place to the post. Do you have more information about the story?

The award-winning TV host and singer is currently having the time of his life, soaking up the sun and the warm ambience that the enchanting Mediterranean country has to offer. Maboe recently took to Instagram to share snapshots of his blissful getaway, showcasing his stay at the luxurious Club Med Gregolimano. 'Joy in Greece 🇬🇷 😃,' he expressed enthusiastically in a post, capturing the essence of his joyous retreat. In the vibrant photos, the dynamic Maboe is spotted holding a beach ball and frolicking on the beach, with the sapphire blue waters of the Aegean Sea glistening behind him, a breathtaking backdrop that further enhances the spirited nature of his holiday.

'Gregolimano provided the canvas, while fun, good energy, and pure enjoyment were the primary colours of the time. 🤔 I think I was born in the wrong decade because this look from the 70s has me in a chokehold…⏳…' His retro fashion statements speak to a personality unafraid of self-expression, wrapped in the joy of nostalgia. Maboe's getaway comes on the heels of his much-anticipated return to The Expresso Morning Show in August 2022, following a two-year hiatus focused on resolving personal matters. After a strenuous legal battle, he was finally absolved of allegations of abuse in January 2022, paving the way for a fresh start.
