About The Artwork

This Plein Air oil painting depicts a hazy late afternoon landscape, where an old dead tree stands next to a tranquil stream. The inspiration behind this work stems from my appreciation for the beauty and melancholy found in nature's cycles of life and decay. I hope it evokes a sense of nostalgia, tranquility, and contemplation. The hazy atmosphere and the soft, warm light of the late afternoon create a serene and dreamlike ambiance. The presence of the old dead tree invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the impermanence of existence. The subject matter of the painting, with the juxtaposition of the decaying tree and the flowing stream, carries symbolic significance. It represents the cycle of life and death, where even in decay, beauty and harmony can be found. The stream, symbolizing renewal and the continuity of life, serves as a contrast to the stillness of the old tree. This work captures the subtleties of light, atmosphere, and emotion within the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the impermanence of all things and encourages viewers to find solace in the quiet moments of reflection and acceptance.

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,
