Mandrill - Acrylic on canvas

SOLD
This painting of a Mandrill was completed in late 2008. It was my first entry for the David Shepherd wildlife Artist of the year competition. Not an obvious choice for me as I imagined all the paintings would have to be very realistic, but I was advised by one of the promotors that it is open to all styles of work. Although I was not lucky enough to be accepted, the painting is now in the collection of a fan who loves it.
