An Original Oil painting by Will Astley Maberly As the early morning sun reflects on the palms, sultry pinks spray across the sky from the light shining through the haze of the valley. Already the heat of this September day is apparent, creating its own atmosphere in the jesse bush that surrounds this small waterhole in the thick bush Out here there is always the feeling that something is about to happen, it is harsh and almost violent in manyways and yet so peaceful in others. This morning an elephant bull leaves after having drunk his fill, moving off into the thickets where he will feed and maybe sleep in today. When watching these animals in their natural habitat, we start to realise how out of touch with our instinct we are, constantly chasing things we don’t need and most of all not living in the present! Tread Lightly Will Astley Maberly.
