River Horses on the Kazinga Channel
(1995)
Subject: Hippopotamus and Buffalo on the banks of the Kazinga Channel Dimensions (inches): 18 x 34 Medium: Graphite pencil Description: A small pod of Hippopotamus with an old male buffalo on the banks of Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. If you look carefully you can see the eyes of a calf being protected by it's mother. We saw this when we travelling in a boat on the Kazinga channel in 1994. This drawing won the Catanni Drawing Award at the Wildlife Art Society of Australiasia held in Melbourne in 1996. The first time Chris had entered a major competition. The drawing shows the water of the channel and droplets of water falling off the Hippo's back. The detail is extraordinary.
