I traveled to East Africa and shared with all of you my intention to photograph and eventually create a painting of any intriguing animals in the wild. We hiked to find mountain gorillas, viewed the great migration, saw elephants, and much more. Upon our return, I painted a series of the animals that I saw and photographed.
I asked all of you if you had a specific animal that you would like to have painted and below are both the photographs and the resulting paintings.
