I love circular shapes and planets. I decided to paint a poster style in portrait format. I wanted to keep the colors more earthly . To give it a more realistic luminous effect, I left areas unpainted which gave the impression of clouds. By pure chance on of the "clouds" had a definite feminine shape. Working on that I decided to call to make it Venus. The top of the globe resembles an apple, hence the Latin name "Aspera Malum " The apple planet. Watercolor is good for providing light effects, and smooth graduations into other shades. I hope the viewers will be enchanted by it. It is quite difficult to create a smooth background wash around a large circle, using watercolor. The background is dark for that reason to achieve a smooth wash. Not having space to work, watercolor is the only medium I can use effectively.

My name is Stephen, but don't mind being called Steve. I was born at the end of 1959, but was meant to be a 60's baby. Bulawayo, in the then Southern Rhodesia, is my home town. I always liked drawing, but only began painting seriously with watercolor in 1986. I have always loved wildlife, specially birds. In Zimbabwe as Rhodesia became, birds are everywhere. I thought it would be easy to paint them from photographs, but that is not the way to go. You need to be able to show the real character of each species. I much admired and became inspired by such artists as D.M. Reid Henry and Cloe Talbot-Kelly. My early efforts were not good, but I tried to improve despite unrelenting criticism from birdwatching friends. On moving to the UK in 2007, I gave up illustrating wildlife all together. I began to explore abstract and modern art from artists like Kandinsky and Joan Miro. People fascinate me and the human form, both female and male are great subjects. I do not have a huge studio, only a bedsit. However...before you sign out, being self taught I do produce original work which is both intriguing and eye catching work.
