What happens when the sun sets?
The art of Will Astely Maberly
​
The pages that follow contain a series of paintings and sketches of places hardly visited by anyone, others prominent in the memories of many who have had the privilege of exploring the Zimbabwean bush. The Paintings are my translation of the images in my mind that will hopefully engage you in such a way that it will ignite a passion in you to come and immerse yourself in these soul replenishing surroundings, and feel the atmosphere that only exists in Africa. Each picture has a story to tell, each snapshot of life as I have seen it. Often painting the captivating scenes of sunset, the question is presented, what will happen when the sun sets on us? Will we have left a legacy we can stand up and be counted for, and will our children's children be able to stand proud knowing that we have protected that which is so fundamental to the human experience?
