In all my travels and wandering there is one constant, one inspiration… The all encompassing sky above me…….

I’ve looked at clouds

From both sides now…...

From Up and Down…..

And still somehow

It’s clouds illusions I recall.….

I really don’t know clouds,

At all.

Sunrise, sunset, starry skies and full rising moons, the landscapes of the Save River below Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge, Gonarezhou National Park and the horizons around my Tsavene Bush house in the Save Valley Conservancy are prime inspiration.

But the world is my oyster, clouds are my starting point and my point of departure, because without clouds, big skies, moody moons and sunsets just could not be the same!

From my homeland Zimbabwe, but also from the aqua and cerise skies of Thailand, the roseate skies of Florida, the warm and spicy skies of the Mediterranean and from the looming skies of wet season Kalahari, I draw amazement and inspiration.

So, this little A3 size abstract is from my “Serendipity” series…

As is this…

This is my wallpaper, Night Sky….(see the Clouds of Magellan)?! created in collaboration with Robin Sprong Wallpaper.

                            I have linked some of my large abstract paintings with similar sky photographs that I have taken on the banks of the Save River, below Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge, on the edge of Gonarezhou,  and at my bush house in the Save Valley Conservancy– browse on!
