Now I only hope for black wildebeest, topi, bontebok, blesbok, hirola. And maybe a few more

I'll see about doing a blesbok painting next. I'd also like to paint all of them ... and also reconstruct some extinct ones like Megalotragus, Damalops and Damalacra. Sigh ... so much to do, so little time!

Hartebeesten zijn prachtig, wist echter niet dat ze zo groot kunnen worden.
Mooi geschilderd

Baie dankie! Daar's van hierdie hartebeeste in die wildreservaat net buite die dorp, ek geniet dit altyd om hulle te sien. Hoop jy't als verstaan!

Ja ja ik begrijp het. Fantastisch om zoiets net buiten het dorp te hebben. I envy you
