Description: There is something incredibly powerful, yet almost comical, about a hippo breaking the surface of the water. I wanted to capture that massive, untamed energy in this piece. I focused on bold, visible brushstrokes to make the river feel alive and rippling around the heavy weight of the animal. Contrasting the earthy, muddy tones of the hippo against the vibrant, cool blues of the water was the most satisfying part of this process. It’s a slice of wild nature, painted with raw emotion rather than strict, polished realism.
