Hippo Charging by Sharon Repple 11" x 14"  This is another commissioned painting for my friend from his mission trip to Africa.  The reference photo was taken by missionary, Ken Buckner.  I could not have asked for a more beautiful photo to work from.  Hope you enjoy.

A really exciting piece - the light on the animals and the reflections and colouring of the water is wondrous!

I love to read all of your comments.  One of the biggest challenges in this painting was the background, but I enjoyed painting and layering the darks before I applied the branches and foliage.
