Inspired by some of my photos from a trip around The Kruger National Park a few year back. This piece stood waiting on my easel for a few weeks with the outlines drafted before I had the courage to commit to colours.

This majestic creature evolved layer by later and his presence dominated my studio. He's strong and powerful and brings a sense of the courage I felt when I painted him.

I painted with a mix of inks and fluid acrylic.
