Impressionist artist James Dick based this painting on what was probably the sight that the Famous Sir Frances Drake saw after reaching his final stages of circumnavigating the globe in 1580. “This Cape”, Drake Wrote in July of 1580, “is a most stately thing and the Fairest Cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth”.

About the Artist:

As a young man I was always outside observing my surroundings. I graduated from Elsenburg College Stellenbosch in South Africa with degrees in Agriculture, Horticulture, and Oenology. I first specialized in growing roses and fruit trees in the Eastern Cape region where I taught local farm workers to play rugby and established a rugby league while they taught me how to speak their native tongue, Xhosa.

I traveled the world extensively and then settled in Tucson, Arizona where I live with my wife Sarah and two sons James and Gordon. Sarah, Yale educated in art history, finally put the palette knife in my hand. I am self-taught and express what comes naturally to me. My paintings are full of movement, deep and rich. I let the moment, mood, and my education of the subject, inspire my art.
