Waiting for nails to dry

I was taken with thses two images I recently captured in the Kruger Park.
Baboons look is if they have just had a manicure and waiting for their nails to dry. The second image shows one of the characters looking at her nails to see if they are dry!!!

Broken Tusk

A new canvas of a pair of elephants inspired by one of my original photographs taken in the Kruger Park near Letaba camp.
Painted with acrylic on stretched canvas panel measuring 76cm x 61cm. I have titled this work 'Broken tusk'. Note the smaller female has lost her right hand side tusk.

African sunset

Inspired by a photograph by friend Gavin taken in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Acrylic on canvas board

Save the Elephants

I was inspired to paint this image from a reference photo I saw on the FOREVER TRUNKS Facebook site which I follow. It struck me as a poignant reminder of what is happening to our natural world not only the animals like Elephants but the worlds forests where ancient trees are continuously being logged. I have attempted to depict the sadness in my interpretation.

Moonlight and Zebra's

I love painting Zebra always a challenge to get the stripes right. I thought this was an interesting approach by restricting my palette to two main colours with a hint of green and indigo. Size 45cm x 60 cm acrylic on canvas.

Fields of Yellow

Fields of Yellow.

A new painting inspired by Canola fields. Oil on canvas 30 cm x 40 cm.

New Artwork

I had a lot of fun doing this one as the scope of the subject allowed for an endless number of elements and colour. Acrylic on stretched canvas measuring 60 cm high x 75 cm wide.

Acrylic on canvas board measuring 28 cm high x 36 cm wide. Inspiration from a nearby and favourite beach.
