Frans Groenewald Happy Oaks

Happy Oak Pub – Stellenbosch

Frans' caricatures liven up the Happy Oak

Frans Groenewald recently painted one of the walls in the Happy Oak Bar Grill & Pub, situated in the beautiful and well sought after town Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands, South Africa. The caricatures Frans painted are full of humor and also very appropriate to the pub and this wonderful and diverse country we live in. He interpreted the typical diverse and fun student life into a visual combination of word and image to entertain the mind and heart. Eat, drink (& think) and be merry. As a side-note, he fell off the ladder while painting the wall… but survived:-)!

Idiom Wines held their wonderful and diverse ‘Italian Festival’ over the weekend of the 3rd and 4rth of March this year. The weather was perfect and the turnout was fantastic! People came from all over to join in on all the fun. Frans Groenewald was very fortunate to have a table displaying his artwork. All the art had an Italian theme of course!

La Bella e Vita, Baby!

Frans Groenewald The Shmooz

The Shmooz – Canada

A Frans Groenewald Mural at The Shmooz, Toronto Canada

Three years ago, Frans was given the privilege of painting a mural for Shmooz. An amazing job for a wonderful coffee bar in Canada. He first drew up a few concept sketches based on the information given to him. The mural had to depict the neighborhood they lived in, as well as incorporate the owners’ personalities and the over all feel they wanted to achieve.  The job was given to them in digital format and they then had it printed and displayed onto the entire wall of the coffee bar and restaurant. It is a playful and colorful mural and has brought many smiles to the people of Danforth.
