Plein Air Friday at Disney's Animal Kingdom

On the Kali River

14" x 10" 

Available

This is another plein air painting done at Disney's Animal Kingdom, over looking the Kali River to the Nepalese structure that is actually the building where guests get on and off the Kali River Rapids attraction.  The White Cheecked Gibbons are just to the left of the clump of bamboo.    Needless to say, I was completely entertained watching them and trying to paint at the same time.  The baby, Harper, named after Harper Lee, has grown, and now has her dark fur to match the males, which will change back to golden as she gets older.  

I painted this in two sessions, one before hurricane Irma and then it sat in the studio for a while until I went back out last week to finish it.  I will be back out there today if the weather cooperates!
