Again with the water I know ... This was going to be quite a detailed painting but as I built up layer upon layer of colours that weren't naturally found in a reference photo, it became more impressionistic. I guess we'll call it representual. I titled it The Bachelors simply because Wildebeasts are one of the most Homely of all the creatures that occupy Africa. How could they find a mate with faces like that ... Hahaha The stud muffins.

Ha-ha! Wildebeasts are indeed quite ugly but I guess they don't know any better. I like how you are experimenting with colors. This is great.Justin Jenkins 25 Jan 2005
Nice treatment of the hair and overall an excellent oil. The reflections in the water work well. Nice work John.Matthew Steffen 24 Jan 2005
