Dating back to the 1930s, Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s iconic historical buildings. Situated on 140 acres (57 hectares) of land, the property is a sanctuary for one of the most endangered subspecies of giraffe in the world, Rothschild’s giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi).

I think I must be mad as I paint these tiniest of highlights. Sitting in the studio thinking to myself will anyone even be able to tell, I mean if your not a painter the likelihood of one walking up and standing inches away are pretty slim yet I keep on doing it 😀 oh well it’s all part of the process.

Quite fascinating. I love the blending of colors.

Subtle

Colours of Silk,
Soft Hues’ Shifting Sand,
Silence Lifting
Like the Most Gentle Hand.
Moonlight Singing
Of Distant Dreams;
Lavender Mantle,
Melancholy Themes.
Mist of Whispers,
Reflection of Light,
Subtle, Silvery,
Lullaby Night.

A wonderful example of docufiction – what could have been, what might have been; science probability if you will, from the Last Dragon series produced by the Animal Planet.

It’s long, but fascinating, fun and worth the watch.

I hope you enjoy it!

Reality check …..


Lovely reality
