"These were photographed at Orpen dam in Kruger National Park, where the elder elephants were busy doing snorkel training with the calves. The end of the trunk for the middle elephant is all we saw, and mistook for diving ducks. We luckily stuck around and a herd of 17 elephants (with babies) emerged."

"This is a beautifully pregnant zebra i found in Rietvlei nature reserve in Pretoria. As I took the photograph (on sports setting, repetitive shooting mode), she had gone from looking forward to turning her head, and made 3 amazing shots that just seem to fit perfectly for this 'composition' "

"Second time I've painted this Tiger Princess in this pose. Actually all of my Tigers I painted are exactly the same animal, I just find her colours, and attitude (it's almost like she poses for me) stunning. The first time i did this painting, to be honest, was terrible. It was done in my older 'untrained' style."

"This is my latest completed piece. With this one i did a live, open air display on the simplicity and durability of oils...Only. I only used 1 brush, 6 colours (including B&W), and no additional oils or mixatives. The lion I wanted a fiery colour to go with the intense eyes of the killer. Not much in the ways of fine details, simple yet effective was the aim."
