Their colorful attire reflects the pride of their ancient culture. Despite the poverty of their world, the Masai and Samburu have retained a dignity and nobility about themselves. Colorful beads and clothing contrast them in sharp relief against the equatorial African background. Sharing the spotlight in this series are members of Kenya's vast herds of predators and prey. Depicted as the artist saw them are predators such as lions, cheetahs, jackals, wild hunting dogs, and hyenas.
Bird life is prolific throughout the region.
The largest of all land animals is the African elephant. His only enemy is man and encroaching civilization. The artist had several encounters with this gentle giant, which can turn bellicose in an instant. Magnificent vistas and fierce African sunsets round out the series. All the subjects are portrayed as the artist saw them, and limited artistic license was indulged in order that the integrity of each scene would be preserved.
