'REFUGE' - Oil Painting on Stretched Canvas

For Malcolm art is all about portraying people, landscapes, seascapes, boats, still life, and places of interest that emerge in all their glory. As Malcolm expressed himself, “It is not so much about the location or the subject, but how it emerges as a creation that stands on its own merit as a thing of beauty and design. The portrayal of my art comes from the premise that our thoughts and beliefs determine the outcome of our lives. By seeing the patterns and rhythms of nature, we echo the dreams of our hearts, so we engage with creation to reveal the truth that we see in creation to men. There are shadows and there are lights, differing tones in complex patterns that form the visions that we see, and this is my reality. Depending on how much confusion or peace lies within us determines how we view the world; and how we view the world determines our quality of life. Hopefulness produces joy; fear and anxiety rob us of the same. I want to depict scenes of tranquillity, peace and joy so that people may see light in the midst of darkness. My paintings are a portrayal of hope and light. You can say that my work is “Art and Soul”. Must specify on the Almina painting that it is a painting done after John Singer Sargent, and also the Beaching The Boat is done after Sorolla.
