About "Crossing The Pan"

“Crossing the Pan” is a painting depicting a small herd of Elephants crossing the Magadikgadik Pan in Botswana. The subject was inspired by an experience on the pan during one of my journeys when a sand storm crossed in front of us like a great vertical curtain. Our party was able to walk up to the edge of wind storm wall it was so sheer. This surreal experience has remained with me since 1990 and inspired me to do a painting depicting Elephant crossing the pan as they did many years ago before reserve fences were erected.

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
