Freedom of the Skies

It's early morning and the seagulls have the beach to themselves. I approach cautiously, enjoying their apparent disregard for this earthbound human who often desperately wishes to join them in their effortless "Freedom of flight".

Augrabies - Place of Thundering silence

The Khoi people have called it the “Place of Great Noise”, yet I came here to enjoy the silence, the tranquility of this stark, rocky region of the North Western Cape, just a stone’s throw from the Namibian border.

Although few sights are as awesome as water thundering down the through the gorge when the river is in full flood, it is the silent sentinels of the kokerbome that inspire me, the silhouetted klipspringers that watch warily as I stroll through the rocky terrain enjoying the early morning light and the freshness of the air.

In Search of Inspiration

An Artist is only as good as his last painting, and Peter constantly strives to explore new horizons with his art… whether it means a new approach, new technique or style or even a new subject…

Luckily for Peter this means that he often gets to visit out of the way places where the heart, soul and spirit of Africa stills beats to its own majestic rhythm.

Not all these expeditions are about gathering reference but rather a journey of rediscovery as an artist. An opportunity to reconnect with the African bushveld that reawakens ones love for the simple things like an early morning stroll in the bush or the whispering of the wind in the trees or even the heat of the rocks against your back as you become lost in the vast expanses of the the African skies.
