Description
The Impala Antelope by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive antelope portrait in shades of red, orange, black and white with majestic horns and dark orchid eyes complimented with a violet red background.
The impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. Two subspecies are recognized—the common impala as displayed in this portrait, and the larger and darker black-faced impala. The impala reaches 28–36 inches at the shoulder and weighs 88–168 pounds. It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 18–36 inches long. Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods. The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places near water.
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.
