Peter Pharoah South African Artist
Things I think about when I am painting...
What will I paint today?
When I look back to the beginning of 2020 ... Little did we know what lay ahead.
This morning, walking into my studio and setting up a canvas feels like an opportunity and a space where I can escape from the madness of the outside world, the doom and gloom and sadness. Art is about self expression and I hope that 2021 will bring out the lion within.
Be bold, be brave...
Live your dreams
Peter Pharoah
January 2021
Endless Summer is a recent original oil on canvas, inspired by a trip to Namibia many years ago and I decided to revisit an old style that seemed to fit the hazy nature of the Namibian heat, where things are not always what they seem.
Whenever I have to send a super big painting overseas, I have sleepless nights wondering if it is going to arrive safely but our freight team rose to the challenge once again and Ubuntu arrived safely in Europe where I am happy to say that the ellies are enjoying life with their new family, despite the cold and snowy weather outside.
Elusive, silent and deadly. Spotting a leopard in the wild is always a thrill, they are masters of stealth, one of my favourite animals to encounter when exploring in the African bush.
In Search of Inspiration
An Artist is only as good as his last painting, and Peter constantly strives to explore new horizons with his art… whether it means a new approach, new technique or style or even a new subject…
Luckily for Peter this means that he often gets to visit out of the way places where the heart, soul and spirit of Africa stills beats to its own majestic rhythm.
Not all these expeditions are about gathering reference but rather a journey of rediscovery as an artist. An opportunity to reconnect with the African bushveld that reawakens ones love for the simple things like an early morning stroll in the bush or the whispering of the wind in the trees or even the heat of the rocks against your back as you become lost in the vast expanses of the the African skies.

Essence by Peter Pharoah
Prints Available Mystique Collection
Essence by Peter Pharoah I love experimenting with new ways to capture the ‘Essence’ of the piece I am working on.
Sometimes using colour, or lack thereof, to create the mood and overall feeling of the image then using paint to express the emotions just as a writer uses a pen, the monochromatic palette becoming the poetry that flows from the brush telling the story, conveying my interpretation of the moment captured by the camera.
I hope that you can feel the emotion of this piece in your own way, finding the subtle nuances and hidden secrets of the girl behind the image.
Capturing the spirit of a moment…

Going the Extra Mile!
A huge shout out to the team at the local The Courier Guy depot in George, South Africa.
A customer called us yesterday, he'd been to our art gallery in Wilderness recently and had fallen in love with one of the artworks.
He was now in the Cape Town area and getting ready to head home to Scotland and had been thinking about the artwork since he'd seen it and decided that he really, really wanted to take it home with him.
He asked if there was any chance we could make a last minute delivery to Cape Town (he was staying in the southern suburbs quite a distance from the city) and get it to him before check in for his flight overseas.
We are not willing to shy away from a challenge and immediately began calling our network of freight agents but they were all dubious and declined saying it was too risky and they didn't want to disappoint us... or our client. (I think I have a reputation of being a bit of a tiger LOL)
However there was one person who was not willing to give up... Brenda, from The Courier Guy in George and she was absolutely determined to make it happen by sheer will alone!
My phone didn't stop ringing with new possibilities and suggestions coming in every few minutes that I would have to relay to our client and finally after much discussion about the risks, we decided that it was probably best to wait until he visited South Africa again and things weren't going to be so rushed.
Later that afternoon, after mulling it over, he called again and asked what I thought the chances of success were... At this point, I realised how much I wanted to make his day, and really wanted to believe we could do it so I said Okay, let's just GO FOR IT!
(And if it didn't work out then we could come up with a Plan B).
I was already in George at that moment, so I raced back to the studio in Wilderness, packaged the artwork, jumped back in my car and hightailed it back to George making it to The Courier Guy depot in the nick of time - cut off time is 4pm.
Brenda and Abri were waiting to help me get the paperwork sorted out which was a little tricky as our client did not have an SA contact number or a delivery address as he was going to collect it from the kiosk close to the airport.
I told Brenda she would have to make sure it gets to Cape Town in time because I didn't fancy swimming all the way to Scotland to deliver the artwork! She laughed and said not to worry and dealt with everything quickly and efficiently and the tube was finally labelled, sorted, weighed, measured and ready to board the truck bound for Cape Town.
Early this morning, I received a call from Brenda saying that Candice at The Courier Guy kiosk (King Air Industria in Cape Town) had the parcel and it was all cleared for hand over to our client. I contacted our client and he managed to pop in en route to the airport, emerging victorious, tube in hand and still had plenty of time to check in and board his plane.
So grateful to the team that made it happen! Couriers are a crucial extension to our business, if we make promises, they are the ones who have to keep them so we really appreciate them going the extra mile so that our client could take a special memory home!

In the Studio...
Being happy and positive is essential to creativity.. I like to begin my day slowly, I enjoy a cup of strong coffee and spend some time taking in the beauty of a Wilderness morning. It’s important to be content within yourself to have the confidence to try something new, something you haven’t done before…
The magic only happens when you’re pushing the boundaries and for me, it’s the challenge of having to come up with something fresh and new with each artwork that keeps me going back to my studio each day – nothing is more satisfying than a good day’s painting…
