Jubulani at the Beach

A very dear art patron, Katie,  was  fortunate to go on Safari this year to Africa.  She commissioned me to paint some intimate portraits of the animals she saw on her trip.  She was very generous to share with me all her photos from this trip as I have always wanted to paint elephants, zebras, and giraffes.  These beautiful animals as we all know are threatened for many reasons .  Somehow painting the beauty of these magnificent creatures is how I process the profound changes taking place on our planet.
