  • Kibbuka Plays Flute by taiche

    Homage to David Kibbuka’s Flute Player. Kibuuka works primarily in batique: I took the image and reproduced it for my own home in neutral shades. Truly an inspirational artist. Reproducing other’s work was a way for me to gain confidence with brush, colour and style, allowing my own artistic flow to come to the fore. In fear of copyright infringement this work is not for sale.

  • Caracal by africanbush

    One of the smaller South African Cats / The caracal I love these little guys there ears just do it for me / Shot taken in Hluhluwe Park / Zululand / South Africa

  • Pilansberg Elephant by Tom Godfrey

    I did this acrylic painting in 2003. The ele was almost knee deep in lush grass and shrubs (very considerate of him – meant I didn’t have to paint his feet :)) in the Pilansberg Nature Reserve, north -west of Johannesburg. The background is semi true to the area, but has more of a Zimbabwean bush feel with the granite “Koppies” (phonetic spelling – means small hills) in the background. He hangs on my wall at home. I am putting him up to try to get enough pics for a “Wildlife Calendar” which could be fun and anyway my mum finds most of my Sci-Fi pics too scary :)

  • Wansimba Primary School by Rosie Appleton

    Not far from the camp ground we stayed at in Jinja (1/2 hour drive maybe) was the Wansimba Primary School. SoftPower Education, a charity run out of our camp organise for backpackers and tourists to go to the local schools and help fix them up. Our task was to paint the brown on the outside of the building, the final touches to having the school fully functioning again for the children. It was holidays but they still all hung around, especially when “mzungu”(white people) were going to be around!

  • TRIBAL LADY - ETHIOPIA by Michael Sheridan

    Life hasn’t been easy for this old Bume Lady. The Bume People are probably the poorest of the many tribes living in the remote Omo Valley – Southern Ethiopia. She was photographed in her village located on a bluff high above the muddy Omo River.

  • My Secret by Heather Ward

    I was fortunate to be able to get several great photos of gorillas at my last trip to the zoo. This one was only a few feet away from me, just sitting, thinking. With a slight grin on his face, I have to wonder what his secret is. This is a lowland gorilla, and like all the great apes, is an endangered species. Drawn in charcoal on vellum, 2008. Original 13”x17” available.

  • Cape Buffalo by africanbush

    Another one of the Big 5 the cape buffalo / these guys are not small trust me / shot taken on / Zulu Nyala Reserve / South Africa / Zululand

  • Natures Giants by eric shepherd

    I just love painting elephants, and trying to come up with different colour combinations, it’s amazing the colours that one can make, with just four or five tubes of colour This one is painted in Acrylics on canvas and measures 1200×600 mm Although the main elephant occupies nearly half of the canvas, I wanted the direction of the clouds, the earth, and the light, to guide the eye to the smaller elephants, thus giving them just as much importance to the painting.

  • Witchdoctor by TREVOR IRWIN

    http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Taken while traveling to a isolated village in Nigeria. These people cause so much hurt to the locals. child sacrifice, although greatly diminished, is still practiced in some areas. They manipulate the people and use fear and superstition as a way to control the people and earn a living for themselves. I have seen it many times and their power is destructive if left unchallenged. Medicine and herbal doctors can do good. But Full blown witchdoctors practice dark medicine that only causes hurt and death, especially to children. As a missionary and work within villages, I have seen children demonstrated by people and in some cases killed. I shared Jesus with her, and she is now a Christian and we helped her start a new business selling clothing and other items. 100% of all proceeds from sale of art and donations made via our Charity website, goes towards helping extreme poor in rural and isolated villages in Africa.
