Lord of the River
In "Lord of the River", I wanted to transport the viewer to the rivers of Africa, to relive the up close and awe-inspiring sight of the largest land animal. I was inspired to create this painting after a chance encounter I had on safari, where I saw a massive bull elephant dominating the river. The scene is complemented by the beautiful Carmine Bee Eaters that add a splash of color as they swiftly fly through the area. By using a combination of movement, texture, and light, my goal with "Lord of the River" was to create a sense of the elephant's strength and power as it ruled over its territory.

Original paintings are one-of-a-kind, a work of art created on a blank Belgian linen canvas using oil paints of the finest quality. Each brushstroke is carefully applied by hand, and the layers and textures can be seen, and even felt on each canvas. Each original work of art has a quality and an expression all its own.
