When my Hyenna painting found a new home (as described in an earlier blog), I had a look for other interesting animals, I had seen whilst in Namibia, as potential subjects. Here, above, is one of a pair of warthogs I sketched by the waterhole at our lodge. They were a young pair and this one was probably a female. I was struck by their incongruous appearance with a big head and body on thin legs. Not only that, but she appeared to me, to be tottering on stilettos as she made her way around the edge of the water.
So I had to have a go – a bit of fun to paint – here for your amusement.

Like the hyena this warthog has real character! 👍

Thanks Ashley. I think if you paint/draw animals big enough you get an intimate connection onto which you can impose your own interpretation (s).
For me it is their unique appearance which is captivating.

Ha! Love this! She has real personality – she had her eye you, I think. Pigs always look like they’re wearing high heels; some kinds navigate better in them than others. 👏👏👠👏👏
