Acrylics on board, 20 x 15 cm:

Cape turtle dove
Acrylics on board, 20 x 15 cm:
Also known as ring-necked doves, these critters are found over much of southern and eastern Africa. They are very common around here in my neck of the woods, and their characteristic call something of a soundtrack to local scenery. Because they're so common, people hardly notice them, but I think they're rather beautiful and a worthy subject to paint.

Acrylics on board, 20 x 15 cm:
SOLD
Most people tell me they find highveld winters depressing. Me, I love the subdued earth tones, the scraggly weeds and puffy seed heads, the hint of ice in the evening breeze.
