Safari Art Work

The safari art paintings that are based on landscapes usually reflect the hot, arid characteristics of the South African bush. As such they often contains dusky brown and orange colours.

Of course, a large amount of safari artist painting is concerned with the majestic wild life indigenous to the area. Many of our artists focus on painting original art works based on the 'big five' safari animals; namely the lion, tiger, elephant, rhino and buffalo. These animals are impressive and make great subjects for artist paintings. They are known as the 'big five' because African bushmen believe that they are the five toughest animals that live in the country.

However, many people that buy art are also interested in some of the other top safari animals. These include zebras, giraffes, gazelles, wildebeest and flamingos. Gazelles are very graceful, beautiful creatures and are a great subject for oil paintings. The sharp colour of animals like the zebra and flamingo make for a stunning contrast with the South African landscape.
