<p>Although for many visitors the Kalahari evokes images of winter game drives in a vast desert<br>of thirsty red sands, it is the capricious summer landscape that has been luring painter and<br>photographer Robert Grogan back to this region for more than 30 years. Together with his<br>wife Lee, he has braved unpredictable, sometimes violent storms, impassable roads, fierce<br>heat and humidity, insects and tall grass for the chance to paint the summer cloud banks and<br>startling local transformations rendered by the rains. He has photographed, too, not just the<br>iconic game, big cats and raptors, but also more transient delights of the season, like the<br>butterflies, meadows of wildflowers and the springbok lambing season.<br>Gathered together for the first time in a vibrant collection, his landscape paintings and<br>magnificent wildlife photographs bring the Kalahari’s lush and beautiful summer season<br>vividly to life</p>
