This safari scene is a little daunting as you step down the staircase. What are all those beasts and why are they staring at me? I can't tell you their names. Do you know what they are?
Black and white beauty with leathal horns.
The final two are waiting at the bottom of the staircase. The one on the right looks a little cranky.

Dr. John Ludwig loves to hunt and these are a few of his trophies from Africa. I painted the background scene with a watercolor wash and some impressionist scenery. The detail is very subtle so you can't see too much here. The painting is designed to create a grassland for the display area, a staircase. We added the woven wood blind that hangs from the ceiling. Notice the real grass and wood used with the mounts.
At the landing is this beautiful mount on a pedestal.
These two friendly beasts greet you as you turn past the landing

Awesome trophy room. Brings it home! Usually trophy rooms look like just that..... a room with trophy's..... boring.
