Red jungle fowl
Acrylics on Masonite, 10 x 15 cm:
These are the critters domestic chickens are descended from. I experimented a bit here with a much looser, expressionist sort of style; I have yet to decide whether I like it!

Two blue waxbills
Acrylics on Masonite, 15 x 20 cm:
When you wander around in dry thorn veld, it's all muted greens and earth colors. Until you glimpse a little flock of blue waxbills; they always come as a pleasant surprise, their powder blue plumage looking strangely out of place in surroundings. Which is perhaps one reason why I enjoy painting them.

Sunbird and Protea Flower
More specifically, a greater double-banded sunbird. Acrylics on Masonite, 20 x 15 cm:
The sunbirds (there are many species) are Africa's version of the hummingbirds of the Americas. despite their similar looks, they are not closely related. The sunbirds have a similar lifestyle though, and live on nectar and small insects.

Elephant testing the air
Acrylics on Masonite, 15 x 10 cm:
Somewhat to my own surprise, I have indulged in my love of very small paintings again. I find it particularly amusing to paint an animal this huge on so small a scale.

Monochrome elephant
Acrylics on Masonite, 25 x 20 cm:
I have been playing around a bit with working in stark black and white. For some subjects it makes for an interesting effect. Perhaps I'll do some more.
