Africa's Big 5 by Cherie Roe Dirksen
Acrylic on Boxed Canvas…
HOORAY!!! I have finally completed this commission for a friend of mine – to go in his home in Johannesburg.
He asked me to incorporate the big 5 into the picture (as natural as the big 5 can be together) with the theme of a ‘Serengeti Sunset’…
This is HUGE – my biggest painting yet…it measures 100" (is that 10 feet? – I am bad with my imperial measurements) x 40".
The 2 outer panels are 20″ × 20″ each;
the next 2 are 20″ × 30″ each;
and the middle one is 20″ × 40″
It has taken me almost 2 weeks to finish and is definitely my biggest challenge yet…although, I enjoyed creating it thoroughly!
