Description
The Cape Buffalo by Amy E. Fraser is a painting of an adorable African Cape buffalo gazing out at the viewer with big beautiful brown bovine eyes from within a warm and sunny patterned landscape featuring bold stripes, brilliant polka dots and dancing foliage. This incredibly handsome beasty is proudly showing off his characteristic feature of fused horns with the bases forming a continuous bone shield across the top of his head, referred to as a "boss". Cape Buffalo are known for their unpredictable temperament and are considered extremely dangerous. They have few natural predators and are capable of defending themselves against lions. The Cape Buffalo has never been domesticated. The Cape Buffalo is a delight to behold, overflowing with charm, intelligence and character and is part of Amy E. Fraser’s Menagerie collection of whimsical hand drawn and hand painted animal portraits.
A menagerie is traditionally a collection of captive animals, frequently exotic, kept for display; a precursor to the modern zoo or zoological garden. However, Amy’s Menagerie is one of the imagination only, all animals represented in this collection are wild and free. The “Menagerie” is basically a catchy title to encompass a rather large, eclectic series of full bodied, detailed, head to toe illustrations of magnificent real world animals displayed in colorful landscape settings with a fun, folksy, fairytale vibe presented in a horizontal format.
The Menagerie Painting Collection by Amy E. Fraser. The Menagerie works are one of a kind, original paintings created with care and dedication to traditional human craftsmanship. The Menagerie Series is inspired by Amy’s lifelong connection to animals and is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Medium: Watercolor Pencil, Oil Pastel and Acrylic Paint on 140lb cold press acid free archival watercolor paper. All images copyright Amy E. Fraser. All rights reserved.
