Description This, Streptopelia decipiens, is a pigeon-sized dove that occurs in savannah in sub-Saharan Africa. They particularly like the tall trees growing beside rivers. This painting was done from a photo I took of one feasting on wild figs in Letaba Camp of the Kruger National Park. Acrylic.

Beautiful work. I also enjoy painting wildlife though I work in watercolor.

Hello there and thanks! I actually work mostly in watercolour as well, but I do try the acrylics from time to time.

Thank you! This was my first proper acrylic painting (well ... I started it first ... I only finished it a long time after starting it) but it's still one of my favourite works.
