Artists Stanley Greaves AA and Akima McPherson’s conversation this month surrounds Ron Savory’s acrylic painting, Forest Path Night Fall, which he completed in 1996.

Stanley Greaves: Most landscape paintings deal with views of the coastland and Georgetown urban scenes. Savory had spent time as a civil servant at Kamarang where his total immersion in the rain-forest environment provided a rich variety of scenes. He certainly could be considered a pioneer in this genre of painting.
