Title: “Buffalo Bonding: Waterside Whispers” (Commissioned Painting) Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas Measurements: 1000 x 600mm For nature lovers, Zululand is truly a paradise. No matter which Zululand Game Reserve you decide to visit you may be astonished at the amazing and incredible scenery and wildlife. The Cape Buffalo is a large African bovine species that is found in Zululand, South Africa. These animals are known for their impressive size, strength, and aggressive behaviour. They are often found in large herds in the grasslands and savannas of Zululand. Cape Buffalos are considered one of the "Big Five" animals in Africa, along with the lion, leopard, elephant, and rhinoceros. They are a popular attraction for wildlife enthusiasts.
Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas Measurements: 1000 x 600mm Hippos are the third-largest land mammals after elephants and rhinoceroses. Male hippos are known as ‘bulls’ and are highly territorial in water, controlling stretches that include groups of females and young, known as a 'bloat’. They may look slow, but hippos can run at speeds of up to 40 kph on land. (Usain Bolt might just make it with a top speed of 44kph!) Hippos are currently classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and poaching for their ivory canines. These creatures are truly remarkable and play a significant role in their ecosystems.
Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Joe Marais Title: Tusks with Attitude Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas Measurements: 800 x 600mm Block Mounted The warthog, a resilient and robust animal, showcases distinct sexual dimorphism with males weighing 9 to 23 kilograms more than females. Their defining features include disproportionately large heads and hard, protective "warts" on either side. However, the most striking aspect is their uniquely shaped tusks - the upper pair forming a semicircle and the lower pair sporting a sharp cutting edge. Sparse bristles cover their body while longer ones form a mane from the top of the head to the middle of the back. When in motion, warthogs exhibit their signature tail carriage - held high with a tuft of bristles at the end, resembling a fluttering flag.

Instead, the tides and changing seasons guide those who live by the rhythmic ebb and flow of nature. One thing’s certain, though. It won’t be long before you, too, succumb to its charms – basking in the many sensual pleasures of the bay… perhaps a contemplative moment sipping on a glass of wine at a beach restaurant, a browse for the unusual at one of the characteristic, whitewashed stores or a lively barter at the weekly fisherman’s market.
