Emerald Eyes

Let me tell you about the inspiration forEmerald eyes.
Oh how those eyes got me.
Those emerald eyes belong to Jaziri (meaning courageous)
One morning a story broke on the jeep radio between the masai guides. Nalangu the leopard had been spotted in a favourite spot near the river. When we arrived on the scene a few jeeps were already there. Everyone had binoculars and were standing up out of the roof of their jeeps scanning the scene.
Was Nalangu in a tree with a kill? Our guide Stanely was not so sure. So we headed of in a completely different direction. Once we were on our own we stopped scanning the treetops and looked low into the bushes.
We found Jaziri, Nalangu's son. About 9 months old. He will only have a couple more months left with his Mum before he will fend for himself.
He was stunning. I simply had to paint him!
This painting comes unframed with D rings and hanging cord are attached ready to hang.
