I added an anthill late yesterday so while that is drying I am working on the lead warthog today. Adding details.
I am busy working on guineafowl dots today in the studio. Everything seems to be coming along nicely.
This beautiful leopard is painted on gesso board in oil paints. Available for purchase. #africanwildlifeart #craigboneart #oilpainting
This interview was done thirty years ago. The sentiment is still the same. I still paint wildlife thirty years on, and still love the wildlife and the environment just as much as when I was a younger man. Now I have a grown family and grandchildren and I am proud to have done what I can for wildlife conservation and will continue to do do.
I painted this beauty a while ago. A really large oversize oil on canvas. It was painted with the Thomas Baines prints as an influence. I have to give respect to the fact that even today one can, thanks to the lack of commercialization of the Falls, stand where Livingstone and Baines once stood, see what they saw, experience the spectacular sight, and be completely in awe of the sheer size, sound and feeling of being there.
Mosi-o-tunya, The Smoke that thunders is the name for the falls in the local dialect. The mist that rises from the Falls at peak rainy season can be seen as far away as 15 miles. The rainbows it provides are incredible. The mist also supports a rain forest and an abundant biodiversity on the edges of Falls which have been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. The forests, islands and gorges in this area serve as breeding sites for four species of endangered birds.
The Livingstone quote from 1855 “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight".
