The Zebra & the South African Umbrella Thorn tree Painting

My trip to Kruger National Park. Although it was a little early in the season for the rains to start, the animals were out in force everywhere. I hope viewers feel as though they may be looking at an old black and white photograph. And it would inspire them to see all of these African animals in their own habitat and not captured behind the bars, cages and small enclosures as that of a mainstream zoo. They are all there for the seeing. I love doing animals since I was a child. It is my greatest pleasure. I have always loved oil as my medium and it works very well with my style. I am very detail oriented, and it is very difficult for me to get to the point where I can say that I am finished with a work.
