Richard Alexander Rennie, master water colourist and living legend of the art world, was born on a farm in the midlands of Rhodesia in 1932. He started painting at the age of 7 under the influence of an uncle who was Chief Art Professor at the University of Cape Town. Richard held his first art exhibition when he was 18 years old. Since then his paintings have spread throughout the world into private homes, hotel rooms and boardrooms as well as the corporate collections of major companies such as SAA, Anglo American, Barloworld, Plascon, Tongaat Hulett and Mediclinic to name a few.
