The story…
I ask myself, what expression do I love? As an artist I sometimes feel I need to crawl into the mood of the animal I’m painting. I’ve learned to seek out the animal’s vulnerability and joy in its environment, and the simple pleasure in seeing the colours mixing to create expression, shadows, depth makes me happy. So, what expression do I love? Sometimes funny, sometimes joyful, sometimes peaceful.
These two giraffes were captured having a quiet moment in the Masai Mara, in the early morning, surrounded by misty swirls of dew. I painted them in blue because I thought this would capture their calm loving nature before the heat of the day sets in. Before the wild runs begin. Before the battle with other giraffes for your mate starts.
The room view gives you an idea of perspective. Ha ha, yes, I too hoped the recliner could come with it!
