Matthew, it's good to have you back, particularly as you've posted a collection of impressive paintings.

I like the elongated format you've used for many of the pieces - it really contributes to their impact - and I particularly like your choice of colours in the painting of the springboks.

Thanks Peter,
There was a dramatic build up to a storm that never happened. It was a gorgeous moody backdrop to a stark landscape. Fun to paint.
