About "10 Forest Eyes - Young Boar"
Forest Eyes is an intimate study of presence.
The painting focuses on the gaze of a young wild boar, where the usual associations of the animal fall away and something quieter begins to emerge. There is no movement here, no narrative action. Instead, the work holds a moment of still awareness -- a state in which the animal is both alert and at rest, observing and being observed.
What drew me to this subject was not the form alone, but the subtle complexity within the expression. The eye carries a softness that sits alongside instinct, creating a tension that is difficult to define. It is this space -- between vulnerability and vigilance -- that the painting explores.
In Solar Realism, my work centres on how light and structure reveal the internal life of a subject. In Forest Eyes, this is approached through the surface of the fur, the tonal shifts within the skin, and the quiet depth of the gaze. The intention is not to describe the animal, but to allow its presence to come forward without interruption.
The original oil painting has been sold.
Its inclusion here reflects its role within the body of work, and the response it has received. It remains an important piece in the development of this series, marking a point where observation and emotional resonance meet.
Fine-art giclee prints are available in selected formats, offering a way to engage with the work while maintaining the integrity of the original.

About Leone
Leone Tonkinson is a South African-born fine artist based in the Netherlands and founder of Solar Realism, a painting approach centred on the presence and character of natural light.
Working primarily in oils, she combines traditional layered painting techniques with close observation, creating still lifes, wildlife and botanical works marked by luminosity, quiet presence and finely observed detail.
Her South African roots and her life within the Dutch landscape both inform her work, bringing together warmth, nature and a strong sense of place. Rather than simply depicting a subject, Tonkinson seeks the moment when light, atmosphere and presence give it emotional resonance.
Her work is held in private collections and exhibited in the Netherlands and internationally.

Exhibitions
Leone Tonkinson has exhibited in both South Africa and Europe, with recent exhibitions in the Netherlands. Her work is held in private collections internationally.
She is the founder of Solar Realism, a painting approach that explores light not simply as illumination, but as an active presence within the subject. Through traditional layered oil-painting techniques, careful observation and controlled natural light, form, atmosphere and emotional presence emerge together.
Her work applies this approach to still life, wildlife and the natural world, where reflected light, transparency, texture and subtle shifts in colour become part of the subject itself.
