Studying the colours, shades and moods of my world and its creatures calms and concentrates the mind. As everyday tensions ease, memories rise from the depths and play like light on moving water: glimpses of a small boy being dragged over Zimbabwean hills by a large dog on a leash; of my siblings and me herding cattle, climbing rocks and swimming in rivers; of early man-hood chasing wild dreams in the Mozambican mountains; of later years exploring the vastness of Zambia, where I now make my home.
What People Are Saying
“Les's artwork is a true masterpiece. When you look at it, you can see how cleverly Les uses light and delights in how nature does the same. Your eye is drawn deeper into the artwork, as you see more and more.”
— Glenton, South Africa
“Leslie Reynolds is a great and respected African painter. His skills with brush and pallet knife are backed by his exhaustive knowledge of the fauna and flora of central Africa. Very collectable!”
