Hippo Hollow Print

After a visit to a game lodge in Bela Bela area in South Africa, which had a waterhole with these hippos near the lodge, I was inspired to create this artwork from the various photos I had taken of the hippos. They are fascinating animals, with a grunt that sounds like an old man laughing, and snorting water out of their nostrils when they surface above the water. I really enjoyed watching them from the gardens of the lodge and decided to paint them with the squares ( or films) of color with the grey scale surrounding, just like a photographer can develope his photographs either in grey scale, sepia tones or in color, but I have included them all in one painting. Just an idea I had some years ago, and which I have used in several paintings in different mediums. Although I have done some abstract and semi-abstract artworks, my preference is realism. I hope the viewer will get the feel of our African wildlife and their habitat through this painting.
