Contemporary blue rhino painting
Acrylic on canvas, 12x16"
The painting is on a stretched canvas, painted round the sides, with a string on the back, so it is ready to hang as it is, or can be framed if you prefer.
I see him as being mysterious, and blue suits that, with the possibility of danger (orange). I like the fact that although he could be dangerous, and is a little bit frightening, he has a look of kindness about him. He may be a misunderstood beast. The detail in the lines on his face make him interesting, so I have emphasized them with extra colour contrast and a bit of texture (sculpture gel).
