Black on white

A group of us artists in Hluhluwe  are painting up a storm for our forthcoming exhibition called " RED ALERT" to raise money towards aiding the sorry plight of our rhino. Living among rhino,seeing them on a daily basis, personally knowing the vets who have to dash to their rescue, makes us even more aware of  what life would be like without these beautiful creatures. And to think that MAN is responsible for this sorry state of affairs is just too much to bear thinking about. Can we possibly be so cruel and ruthless? I feel ashamed of the human race. Anyway, as individuals we cannot make much of a dent, but together we can make a difference. So.... we are raising money to specifically help the Hluhluwe rhino, 'our rhino" by assisting the Honorary Rangers build a hangar for the "Bantam" aircraft donated to Emzemvelo KZN by WWF.
Here is one of my first paintings. It is a black rhino on a white back ground. I must admit rhino, black or white, are one of my favourite animals and I am passionately committed to saving them,,,can you imagine world without these stunning prehistoric creatures?
