Ol' Man River Painting

As a professional artist with over six decades of experience, my work is focused on wildlife, figurative portraiture, and landscapes. My work is realistic and representative in nature, and is not limited to any specific style or subject matter, and I often explore new techniques and ideas to keep my art fresh and exciting. I paint primarily in oils on linen canvas, and my studio is based in the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa. While my work covers a broad spectrum of subjects, wildlife has always been a focal point throughout my career, leaning now more to figurative portraiture. I strive to evoke emotions in my viewers and to connect them with their own life experiences through my art. My work is inspired by the old masters, drawing inspiration from the golden age of the Dutch Masters Rembrandt, Hals & Vermeer & from more contemporary artists like John Singer Sargent, Bo Bartlett, Andrew Wyeth, Odd Nerdrum, Vincent Desiderio, Cesar Santos and Antonio Lopez Garcia. My paintings are an investment in fine art. They have been featured in numerous exhibitions, and my collectors span the globe. If you're looking for captivating, thought-provoking, and emotional works of art, then look no further. Join me on my journey as a professional artist and let my paintings add beauty and inspiration to your life. My work is represented internationally by Saatchi Art, by Artoui gallery in Germany, and by Occhi Contemporary Art in London & New York,
