Large scale 100 cm X 100 cm Acrylic on canvas artwork featured in bedrooms of the Santa Lucia Guesthouse in St Lucia KZN.

The rooms each feature two distinct sets of artwork: A large Giraffe Portrait: It uses expressive brushwork and a neutral palette of warm tans, rich browns, beige, and charcoal accents against a textured off-white background. The large Lion Portrait: Positioned beside the giraffe above the bed, this companion features a frontal portrait of a lion. It uses bold, painterly strokes in rich rust-red, ochre, gold, and deep brown for the mane, contrasted with lighter tones on the snout and striking light-colored eyes.

In the 2nd guesthouse bedroom there are two large, side-by-side canvas paintings mounted directly above the bed serving as the visual centerpiece of the room. Both pieces feature, painterly portraits of zebras rendered against soft, textured backgrounds of grey, cream, and muted earth tones with visible brushstrokes. The left canvas shows a close-up profile of a zebra head angled downward, using soft grey, beige, and charcoal shading. The right canvas depicts a zebra’s head, neck, and upper torso with stronger contrast, crisp black-and-white stripes, and subtle warm brown undertones along its back.
