“I painted this sitting on the verge of the Blantyre to Mulanje Road on the Tuesday 9th February. Mulanje Mountain is the highest mountain in Malawi and rises 10,000 feet from the Phalombe plain as the last gasp of the Great Rift Valley. I have for many years climbed and admired the mountain and seen it in its many moods. I have seen Mulanje after storms and when it is dramatically illuminated from behind by the break of dawn and has glowed warmly facing the setting sun in the West. The Mountain defiantly crouches below a dark and forbidding storm cloud and yet the sun behind the cloud remains blazing and the silver of light surrounds it as a silver lining. This is our rainy season and is a time of green growth and hope. Hope for a good harvest in the future weeks”.
