THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALES OF THIS WORK WILL BE DONATED TO OINK’S FUND I was saddened to hear that Oink had been subject to vicious attacks from thugs. They had been throwing bricks at him and putting washing up liquid in the 15 year old’s water trough. After hearing about the threat to Oink’s safety, David Larkin kindly donated and set up a CCTV sytem in Oink’s field. Other well-wishers are making donations to Oinks fund, which will raise money towards providing further security for Oink, such as a new fence. Read the full story, here Please also see Oink’s new website which is also accepting donations. The tranquil beast in this photo manipulation is a Water Buffalo. I think he’s the only one in the UK, and I stumbled across him while out walking my dog in some local fields. His name is Oink! He got stranded in his field during the floods a few months ago. Luckily, he found his way to safety and became quite the celebrity in the animal world! This was edited in a similar way to my other work, Lord of the Water. Please click on this link for details. Please see my other work Arctic Beast also featuring Oink.

Waking up well before dawn I drove through the fog filled valley hoping to get above the clouds for what I was sure would be a magnificent vista. Eventually I broke through found this spot and tree to accompany the magnificent pre dawn light and in awe observed this beautiful sight.

Watercolor on board and a touch of colored pencil. This painting depicts the Lakota sacred messenger Pte Hinsala San Win, the White Buffalo Calf Woman. There are different versions of her story, well known so I won’t repeat them. Her face is painted with red and yellow ochre , the pattern was a common one worn by most women prior to the reservation period. It tells the world one is an honorable woman. She wears a buffalo robe, dentium choker and circular conch earrings. For me, the little earrings are moons, a feminine symbol. Beneath the robe is luminous red, a sacred color that many tribes, and myself, employ to symbolize earth itself, blood, woman, health and life. Four bison represent the four directions, seasons, and phases of a humans life. My personal symbolism of four in this image is balanced intergration of wisdom and knowledge: remembering to seek out the old wisdom while navigating these new times. The bison emerge, like the people themselves in the Lakota origin story, out of a dark earthy place: Wind Cave. The Lakota believed bison returned underground to the womb of Ina Maka every winter. In spring they returned, migrating north to the Black Hills for spring calving time; the constellations foretell and mirror the migration. Its said White Buffalo Calf Woman dropped to the ground, rolled over, shapeshifting into a bison four times, each cycle a different color, as she took leave of the tribe. Each color has meaning and were both prophesy and warning. The shield design is a visual prayer placing all nations in harmony , each in its rightful place within the Sacred Hoop. Note: Many First Nation plains peoples such as the Blackfoot, Hidatsa, Mandan, and Lakota considered bison a relative. Bison, primary source of food and materials needed for survival, were honored. When a traditional Lakota is using sacred speech, the bison is always Pte, or female. Bison were mirrored in the stars as well. Looking down from above, geographic landmarks of the Black Hills Region portray a giant bison cow and parts of her anatomy, a sacred pipe, tobacco, and the coal to light it. The Lakota believed this bison, formed by topographical features of the Black Hills and mirrored in the heavens, gave birth to the People. Sacred history states that at one time they lived well fed and safe deep within the womb of the earth. Iktomi and Anukte (Double Woman) used trickery and tempted the ancestors into leaving this place. The people followed Iktomi upward to the earth’s surface and emerged from the place now called Wind Cave, in the Black Hills. The Black HIlls is a very sacred area, like a church without a roof. Now its now a tourist attraction and site of political monuments, a water park located over once sacred springs, and source of revenue for the state tourist trade.

I first read of Oink in fellow Red Bubbler , Jennifer Woodward’s Journal You can get most of the story there , Oink is a 15 year old , 1 1/2 ton Water Buffalo that has been the victim of attacks from “yobs” which being American I really have no idea what that is , I’m guessing our equivelant of a punk . Anyway , these thugs have attacked Oink with bricks, set his hay on fire and put soap in his feeding troth . I was so sickened to hear that someone would actually do this, I felt compelled to donate to his fund which was set up to build a security fence to protect him . I found that I wanted to more though , so I have done some Oink design tees ( this being the 2nd ) that I will be uploading , with all proceeds being donated to Oink’s fund . Please take a moment to check out Oink’s Story here and watch the You Tube video here He really is a cute big fella :) thanks for your time , and please bear with me as I upload all the design! ~Steve detail /

I haven’t felt terribly motivated recently, not even for my art and photography. When I’ve forced my creativity in the past, it’s usually left me frustrated and disappointed with the end resut so I thought I’d give myself a few days and see how I felt. I was a bit concious about leaving things too long, so this evening I managed to come up with this Oink Art. This gentle giant always puts a smile on my face, hope he does you, too. The two buffalos in this work are both Oink by the way, in different poses :-) As with my other Oink works, my mark up profit will be donated to Oink’s welfare fund. Oink seascapes sunrise and sunset birds animals insects flowers blue orange view all Many thanks, Jen :-) Photography and editing by Jennifer Woodward © 2008

Oil Painting on canvas (24×30 inches) The Cape Buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. And one of the most interesting to paint. Mean, tough and unpredictable, even lions are wary of taking him on.

THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT – Loxodonta africana / Location Captured: “Krugr National Park” South Africa. / The adult male African elephant is the bulkiest and heaviest of all land mammals. / The weight of a prime bull can be as much as 6000kg with the heaviest recorded just over 6500kg. / African elephant sub-species occur throughout east and west central Africa, where only the forest elephant is significantly different, but only as regards its smaller size and darker hide. / The elephants of the Far East are markedly different both in shape and temperament. / Although there is only one sub-species in southern Africa, the habitat tends to influence their behavioral patterns and even appearance. / There are two major extremes of habitat in which elephant are found in our sub-region-the arid and waterless Kaokoveld and the dense forests of Knysa (Cape Province). By far the largest proportion of elephants is, however, found in the bushveld country. The desert elephants of the waterless Kaokoveld need just as much food and water to survive as the other elephants. They are extremely careful in their eating, stripping off only the food needed, as if aware of how delicately balanced is nature in their arid and sparsely vegetated habitat. The Kaokoveld elephants are tall, scrawny and tough. The possible extinction of these endangered desert elephants holds severe threat for the ecology of the Kaokoveld. They are the only creatures able to keep open the watering points in the shifting sands and if they disappear so will much of the fauna of the area dependant upon this water. / Elephants are generally placid, but can be extremely dangerous if threatened or when they are in season. There are two aggressive behavioral patterns: If the animal is not serious about its intent, but just wishes to assert itself or show dominance, it may make a mock charge, trumpeting loudly, with the trunk probably extended and the ears flapping. If, however, the animal is intent on mischief, then the trunk may be rolled up for protection of left dangling, the ears are laid flat against the head and the tusks pointed directly at the quarry. The charge made is deadly in its silence. / Undeniably the glory, yet the downfall of this magnificent beast, is the bulk and quality of its ivory tusks. The heaviest recorded pair was an incredible almost 200kg, recorded from an animal from central Africa. The record in our region is no more than 90kg. / Elephants live to about 70 years, or sometimes slightly longer, with their age-span strictly controlled by their dentition. They have only six pairs of molars, with two in use at a time. As one pair is used they move forward along the jaw and are worn and splintered away by constant chewing and the roots are finally absorbed. That pair is replaced by the next which are longer and wider. Finally, when all six teeth on watch side have been worn away, the elephant has attained old age. Now unable to chew its food, it dies from a lack of nutrition. / The female differs from the male in having a slightly more angular and prominent forehead and a slightly straighter back. Tusks are generally smaller, although this becomes noticeable only when compared to tusks of older bulls. The entire weight of the massive skull and tusks is carried by the forelegs which are larger than the back legs. The front feet are more rounded than the hind, which are smaller and more oval. When the elephant flaps its ears blood supply in the heavy concentration of blood vessels near to the surface on the back of the ears cools, lowering the body heat of the animal. / Elephants do not go of to die in special “elephant graveyards” as popular legend would have it. Their remains do not litter the veld as the scavengers, large and small, ultimately remove all evidence even of this the largest of all land animals. Due to their large size they do not have predators in the normal sense, but poaching and culling have taken their toll of the African elephant. / These social animals are ruled by matriarchy. The senior cow in the family takes care of the needs of the family. Sometimes families join to form herds, but the larger bulls join the herd only when the cows are in oestrus, leaving again after their task is done. / Bulls rarely fight over the cows and may mate with several in the herd. A single pinkish coloured, hairy calf is produced and rarely a twin. A clear place near water is chosen for the birthing and sometimes other females attend to guard the mother. The young are at risk and are strictly guarded by the mother and herd. / FOOD: Elephants are strict vegetarians: tree-bark and roots, leaves, soother branches, grass and fruit is eaten, such as the baobab fruit and acacia pods. / They consume prodigious quantities of food. Where man has interfered with nature and elephant populations permitted to expand unnaturally, the vegetation has suffered severely. Large branches are ripped off and the tender components eaten, smaller trees are sometimes toppled to make their tender crowns available, even the huge succulent, soft pulp baobab tree trunks are chewed around until topple and the entire tree is eventually consumed.

Classified as Lower Risk, the Congo or Forest Buffalo can be found in Africa’s Rainforest. Mainly grazing on grass and lower level leaves, they are nevertheless powerful fighters and can run at speeds of up to 57 km/hr. Note the swept back horns like the Bongo which allows them to escape predators without tangling up in vegetation. Where humans have introduced domestic cattle, buffalo populations have sometimes been affected by diseases and parasites carried by the cattle. Buffalo are also threatened by illegal hunting and loss of habitat.

This shot took me somewhat by surprise. I had just spent two days hiking in Mt Buffalo National Park in Victoria, Australia with half of it off track. The previous day I had woken on Mt Mcleod and hiked straight down over the granite slabs to Rollasons Falls near the base of the mountain. To give you an idea of how hard it was, it took me 7 hours to hike 3km, quite treacherous in spots too, but magnificient country and vistas. That morning I had re-ascended the mountain via ‘The Big Walk’ to my car then went back to the Chalet to say good bye to The Gorge. Having been to Bents Lookout numerous times before I saw no point in taking my camera which until this point had been my constant companion. Of course as soon as I got there this amazing rainbow appeared sending me scrambling back to the car for my camera, fortunately it was still there when I got back and this image was the result which ended up being my favourite for the trip.

The wind was just starting to blow up a storm and put a dusting of snow on this bison.

In American Western culture, the bison is commonly referred to as “buffalo”; however, this is a misnomer Though both bison and buffalo belong to the same family, Bovidae, the term ‘buffalo’ properly applies only to the Asian Water Buffalo and African Buffalo. The gaur, a large, thick-coated ox found in Asia, is also known as the Indian Bison, although it is in the genus Bos and thus not a true bison. The American and European bison are the largest terrestrial mammals in North America and Europe. Like their cattle relatives, bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds, except for the non-dominant bulls, which travel alone or in small groups during most of the year. American bison are known for living in the Great Plains. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries but have since rebounded, although the European bison is still endangered. Unlike the Asian Water Buffalo, the bison has never really been domesticated, although it does appear on farms occasionally. It is raised now mostly on large ranches in the United States and Canada for meat. Wild herds are found in Yellowstone, Utah’s Antelope Island, South Dakota’s Custer State Park, Alaska, and northern central Canada Other Categories / Animals / Apes / Architecture / Baby Animals / Bears / Birds / Big Cats / Elephants / Fish / Insects / Macro / Nature / Reptiles
