Another small pastel painting of the Chobe area featuring stormy skies with an elephant

ELEPHANT SWIMMING

The elephants love to cross the Chobe river, and if you are lucky enough you can get close to them on the boats to get these pictures. I have done this one in watercolor, and it is a smallish painting. I have found that in todays economic struggles, not everyone wants big paintings that are so expensive, and would rather buy something smaller.

Oncoming Storm

Peek a Boo


This moment was hilarious, we were driving through the bush and came around a corner into a breeding herd of elephants. With lots of trumpeting and earflapping, the herd moved their babies into the bush to safety ....... with the exception of the matriarch who patrolled up and down the road until her family were safe. She then took up position right next to the road just behind the tree, almost hiding away from us, but keeping her eye on us to make sure we left!!!
