Lone Blue (Brown Hyena)

Acrylic and mixed media on canvas board

16" x 20" (approx 40 x 50cms)

The beautiful, but elusive Brown Hyena is mainly a nocturnal predator and I have only ever caught a fleeting glance of a backside of one disappearing into the dust in Namibia.  They are cracking animals to paint, especially in a low light which accentuates their hair and stripy legs.
