Interviewed in The Witness in 2004, when the Blue Caterpillar Gallery in Pietermaritzburg hosted an exhibition of his “Veld Sketchbook” originals, Huntly said that his roles as naturalist and painter were complementary.

“Nature makes you want to paint; the colours and the shapes of animals and birds inspire you. And then it becomes a writing thing. Writing is a kind of painting, in words,” was how he put it.
