Shadows of Ethiopia

Description

This is an original oil painting of 2 Walia ibex in Simien Mountains, Ethiopia.

The walia ibex is an endangered species of Ibex. Threats against the species include habitat loss, poaching, and restricted range; only about 500 individuals survived in the mountains of Ethiopia concentrated in the Semien Mountains largely due to past poaching and habitat depletion.

I fell in love with these two ibex as I  had a flawless painting sessions, one after the other. Some paintings come easy others are a challenge but these two were such a joy to paint.
