Description
The East African Oryx by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive Oryx antelope portrait in shades of black, white, brown and gray with light brown eyes complimented with a bold persimmon orange background.
The East African oryx (Oryx beisa), also known as the beisa is a species of antelope from East Africa. The East African oryx stands just over a meter at the shoulder and weighs around 175 pounds. It has a gray coat with a white underside, separated from the gray by a stripe of black, with black stripes where the head attaches to the neck, along the nose, and from the eye to the mouth and on the forehead. The mane is small and chestnut-colored; the ringed horns are thin and straight. They are found on both sexes and typically measure 30 inches long. East African oryx live in semi-desert and steppes, where they eat grasses, leaves, fruit and buds. They are able to store water by raising their body temperatures (so as to avoid perspiration). They gather in herds of 5 to 40 animals, often with females moving at the front and a large male guarding from the rear.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
