My perspective on Art

While spending more than 30 years in the corporate financial world, I have kept my passion for art alive as a part-time artist and architectural designer. During this period I also became acutely aware of the similarities in the key principles of business strategy and the process of producing successful art in any form

Hence my slogan 'the Art of business of Art' . Same as in business, any successful painting starts with a passion to create/deliver something, requires proper planning, an understanding of your subject, how to differentiate yourself, to simplify, have areas of focus, leverage your strength's, etc., etc.

While l am mostly a self-taught painter, I was also fortunate enough to learn from the likes of Dale Elliott, who produced more than 10 000 paintings during his lifetime. His ability to paint in different mediums (oil, acrylic and watercolour) and in a variety of techniques and many types subjects was quite impressive.

This prompted me to not be restrictive in what I paint and in what medium. 

I am looking forward to a new chapter where I will paint more on a full time basis and also venture into the world of art workshops, where I hope to share some of my knowledge, get other creative minds painting and learn from fellow artists.
