“This Moment”

A painting, like a photograph, captures a moment in time.  “This Moment” will be a gathering of recollections; each diverse but every one poignant.  Here the sheep graze nonchalantly, oblivious to the sacred Neolithic stones of Avebury.  And the rising winter sun lights up the Karoo mountains – for just a moment.
