Mystical Leopards

The elusive leopard. Strong, independent, and beautiful. Leopards are a mystery to me, but I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. I know that they can be dangerous, but  they are so alluring I am willing to take the risk. Through my paintings I  want to portray some of the mystic and wildness of these creatures.

Painting in Progress for the SCI Show coming up 22 Feb, in Nashville TN

Here is a video of Craig Bone busy finishing up a painting of Whistler ducks in flight at sunset, with a pair of Rhino in the foreground. Craig is hoping to bring awareness to the fact that Rhinos are facing a variety of threats, from poachers illegally hunting them for their horns to the destruction of their habitats due to human development. These issues have contributed to their population decline, making wild rhino sightings few and far between.

The places where wild rhino sightings are most likely are in areas where conservation organizations are active and the species is protected. On the continent of Africa, sub-Saharan countries such as Zimbabwe, Kenya, and South Africa are some of the few places where wild rhinos can still be seen. While the chances of seeing a rhino in these locations are still slim, conservation efforts have made these areas havens for the species.

Matopas ~ Matobo Hills

Matopas ~ Matobo Hills, Matabeleland Zimbabwe.

Matopas means ‘bald heads’ in the native language Ndebele.  Named this by King Mzilikazi referencing the shape of the large balancing granite boulders. The majestic Matobo Hills in south western Zimbabwe are the nations oldest National park.  The Matobo Hills have one of the highest concentrations of rock art in Southern Africa dating back at least 13,000 years. The paintings illustrate evolving artistic styles and a rich cultural tradition that has now disappeared.   Both King Mzilikazi and Cecil John Rhodes are buried in these hills. I hope my painting pays homage to the place, the artists that have gone before me, and to the every evolving artistic styles of the time.  Oil on canvas. Original painting by Craig Bone. This painting will be available for purchase at the SCI Convention, Nashville TN in February 2023. For more information contact me via the contact page. CB

Wild Tribe will be available soon as a paperback!

A few years ago I volunteered at Fort Bragg NC, doing Art Therapy with the wounded soldiers there. I found this work very fulfilling. Later I was to do the same at Camp Lejuene NC, also in conjunction with the Red Cross (ARC) Triangle area chapter.

My book, Wild Tribe, is specifically a Marine tribute, but is an homage to all American troops whether it be by land, sea or air. Everyone has paid a price in war.

The book will be available next week on amazon and I will be putting a link up on the website soon.

THE M'DALA TRUST AUCTION

The M’dala Trust has, since 2004, provided nearly R10 million in aid to elderly and needy Zimbabweans living in South African and in Zimbabwe. This has been made possible by the incredible generosity of many current and former Zimbabweans and well-wishers living across the globe. Without them none of this could have happened.

Today the needs of the elderly and indigent is greater than ever before – particularly of those living in Zimbabwe. Many of these people who could never have anticipated the desperate situation they now find themselves have no other means of support and survive on humbling handouts from M’dala and other worthy charities like us.

We need to double our efforts and then double them again if we are to really make a difference.

This auction will be that opportunity. Winning bidders – and we know bidding will be tough and competitive – will own a bit of history and in the process make a difference to many poorer family and countrymen/women of our native land. Not only do these pieces have real lasting value but more importantly, owning a piece will keep that memory of Zimbabwe alive.
