Rhino Ride (2014)

Rhino Ride, 2014 was the follow-up to Elephant Ride, 2013.  They are both painted on a 36 x 36” canvas and I believe they really work well on a square format.  I painted another version of Rhino Ride in 2019, the big difference with the second version is that the rhino is white and facing the opposite direction.  I am typically not political but white rhinos (northern and southern) are endangered and I am an animal lover, so I am hoping that this painting might bring some attention to these beautiful and powerful creatures.  I have also thought of painting a third version, this time using a black rhino.  All this said, Rhino Ride is one of my favorite paintings.
