More about Sentinels of Time
In "Sentinels of Time," Errol Norbury masterfully captures the stoic grandeur of the African baobab—nature’s ancient monument. Towering over the sun-scorched earth, the central baobab dominates the composition with its massive, gnarled trunk and twisted, leafless branches. These iconic trees, often centuries old, are rendered here not just as botanical specimens, but as soulful beings—keepers of memory, drought, and silence.
Set against a backdrop of dry bushveld and a dusty ochre path that curves gently into the distance, the painting radiates an authentic sense of place. Norbury’s palette of warm earth tones and subtle sky blues evokes the heat and stillness of the African interior, where time moves slowly and reverently.
This work is not merely a landscape—it is a tribute to endurance and ecological spirit. For collectors with an eye for African heritage, natural majesty, or timeless narratives in art, "Sentinels of Time" is a compelling acquisition and a powerful conversation piece.
