AFRICAN WILDLIFE - Painting of a Gorilla
© Copyright 2009 Eric Wilson All rights reserved

This wildlife art painting was done in pastels on Royal Soverign Pastel card using a variety of pastels
ranging from Carbothello pencils to soft Windsor and Newtons.
The original painting has been sold but I do have limited edition prints available for sale. Please contact
me for details.
This painting is as much about the jungle foliage as it is about the
Gorilla. I really enjoy to paint foliage, and in my wildlife paintings I
go to great lengths to make sure that it is accurate to the habitat of
the animal subject. Even the butterfly pictured on the left is one I
saw and photographed when exploring the jungle of Zaire in search
of the gorillas.
I had many encounters with the Gorillas in Kahuzi-Biega national
park and shall never forget the first time I looked into the eyes of a
wild silverback sitting calmly in his jungle home only a few feet
away.
A 'very young me' tracking gorillas in Zaire.
