This is a larger canvas that I normally use, eg A3 or A4 or in between - Larger canvas allows more animals without being squashed up. Downside a loose weave.
Chose Sarengeti just before sundown as this was the best choice for a larger painting. Allows changes of Hue to make light changes more noticable.
This a " semi silhouette " painting wgich allows for more light to be used.
Such glorious colours Ern. Really beautiful and one of my favourites. Xxxx
I really like this painting; the dark colours against the beautiful sky. I really like the trees too.
Love all the animals you have put in this painting, its beautiful
Thank you Apollomycat 
The placement of the meercats is perfect. They have a similar "view" as usual! Ern, this painting is truly magical. The contrast between the fragile leaves on the tree against the sky is just wonderful. But it's the shading of them land that is your master stroke; lush, and undulating with the bushy green. Once one zooms in one really sees your craft! Me thinks you should have your own gallery! 👋👋👋
Thank you David - yes I liked the meercats there, I really like painting trees, So different picture to picture,
That is amazing I absolutely love the blend of colours ,this is my favourite one of all your paintings so far Ern .thank you very much for sharing your talent with us all on here 🤩
That's impressive. Love the way the colours blend into each others. And meerkats too. What a treat. xxxx
Love the way the elephants are pointing in the opposite direction to all the other animals. A bit like me at times.
Beautiful Ern. The sunsets in Africa are really like that, spectacular colours. Have you ever been there? My father was in the Royal Engineers and we had two postings to Africa when I was a child, Libya and Sierra Leone. I was old enough to remember Sierra Leon the clearest, best year of my childhood. Sunset was at sharp 7pm every night and we used to all go out on the veranda to watch it. xx
Thank you PaperQueen NoI have not bee to the serengeti or East Africa but have been to North Africa and Turkey had some really good sunsets, Sunsets in even N Afria and parts of Asia are as you say, puntual. xx
lots of different animals on there, much variety keep them coming Thanks.
