"SUNSET ON THE POND"
by Stephen Koury
8x10 limited edition canvas giclee'
A great afternoon led to this evening. We had spent the afternoon watching various ducks and waterbirds and then this sunset. We were on the water so the perspective was different than from shore, surrounded by these lily pads that were this really soft and appealing color Some of the color was still visible in the reflective light of the sunset, other objects were just silhouettes. The scene was gorgeous and the painting carried it off.

"TURKEY LANE"
by Stephen Koury, 18"x28" limited edition canvas giclee'
An early morning in the woods, waiting for the gobbler to come across the field, only to realize he had headed the other way. So we packed up and start walking out, as we turned the corner guess who's walking towards us. We all get spooked a little, at least we weren't the ones that ran and this painting came from that meeting. The light and how it plays among the trees and the shadows across the road, is really appealing. These same shadows act to deepen the painting, pushing the turkeys back. The turkey's placement tells the viewer that they have also just turned the corner and they also serve as a size reference.

"MORNING FLIGHT" 16"x36" limited edition canvas giclee'
There is so much that attracted me to this scene that it's hard to pin point what really started me on this piece. The greens along rivers vary, but there is a time of year when it is such a fresh vibrant green that it makes your soul soar! You can feel the growth and health of the environment and it feels good to your core to be there, this river was at that time. Into these living greens come the beautiful white egrets, living glowing reminders of what this place should look like. I wanted to fill this painting with these graceful birds and to move the viewers focus from right to left as the deparing birds moved down the river. Paintings this size are really time intensive, which means all the time and love that I put into it as the artist becomes a gamble...... you know what you are trying to do, but you are not sure it will happen and by now you have so much into it. So you sweat it, and you keep working, staring, working, staring, wondering, hoping... then one day it pops! This one pops!

Royal terns are so elegant; they are incredible fliers with beautiful plumage. They flock in large groups on the beaches and fuss at each other continually. This fussy behavior is the basis for this painting and highlights how paintings are born. Watching wildlife opens doors to behaviors and habits that the various critters exhibit, these lead to ideas... creative ideas that lead to paintings.

This awesome eagle had just finished snatching this bass when I arrived. He was trying to get to a comfortable position to begin his meal and he kept opening and closing his wings. The poses were awesome, compared to the folded wings, so I painted the wings open. One of the challenges of these big birds is to NOT make them look heavy; this pose really made me feel like this Eagle is buoyant, and a master of the air.

This little bunny was with three others in our backyard among the passion vine, we watched them for several days. They were very cautious and rarely out in the open, so I felt the painting should follow this line. I placed the bunny off center, not obvious. Then I covered him a little with some leaves and placed a passion flower on the left to help draw attention away from the bunny.

Great Horned owls are the big dog of the avian predator world, holding precedence over red tailed hawks, etc. basically no one messes with them. This particular bird seemed so strong and confident. We walked up on him in a cedar tree with a mountain of pellets below, he was obviously eating well. I wouldn't of noticed him if he had held still. Its great going through the contents of the disgorged pellets, they proide a record of the prey items that are in the area. You can find tiny jaw bones and teeth, very cool stuff.

"WISDOM" by Stephen Koury, 30"x48" limited edition canvas giclee'
How the Elephant painting was born---- It was my second summer in Africa, and I was working as a naturalist leading photo safaris. My vehicle had six american tourists and a south african driver, we were on a two track dirt road moving from our old camp to a new one and game viewing while we drove. As we rounded a corner this Big Beautiful Bull Elephant stepped out in front of us, startling him and surprising us! He immediately became larger, fanning his ears and kicking up dust, coming towards us, we immediately began backing up, the driver trying his best not to jackknife the small luggage trailer we were towing. As we backed down the road the Elephant continued to move towards us. I remember telling the people to sit tight and not panic and I photographed as we continued backwards, the vehicle lurched to a stop, I glanced at my rear view mirror and the trailer was sideways, we could go no further. On came the Elephant, it was pretty tense for a moment! He came to a stop at the very front of the vehicle, followed by a cloud of dust, somehow at this point that I felt we were alright! He seemed satisfied that we had backed off, as my eyes traveled from the tip of his trunk which as at ground level up to his eyes, I could tell he had calmed down! Looking in his eyes I felt a wisdom, a calmness instead of the rage that I expected. He shook his head one more time, emitting a huge cloud of dust and turned and was gone! Incredible! framed $1550
"LIONS & THE LEOPARD"
by Stephen Koury
48"x24" limited edition canvas giclee'-
A family of lions investigate a wary leopard tortoise. The painting was inspired the first time I watched Lions and a Leopard Tortoise. I fully thought I was watching the tortoise's demise, but the lions could not get a good bite on the shell. They tried and tried to bite through the shell while the tortoise waited patiently for them to give up. As I watched I remember saying to myself the Leopard and the Lions, the painting was born. The color of the lions and the tortoise work very well together. In the piece the Male knows that the investigation will amount to nothing, while the cubs still hold some hope of getting into the shell.

Cape Buffalo are awe inspiring; they seem to be carved out of granite. They look you right in the eye, basically staring you down. They can be multi-colored depending on the mud color they have recently bathed in, they have never been domesticated, and they are truly Africa. I found the buffalo to be wonderful subjects and these two are older bachelor herd bulls. We followed them for two days watching the sparing and tests of strength, all with different light. This painting is the fourth buffalo piece and I think a few more are on the way!

"EVENING AT RIETFONTEIN"
by Stephen Koury
24"x16" limited edition canvas giclee'
The gemsbok are incredible creatures, they are designed in every way to with stand tremendous temperatures and long periods with little water. Part of their territory includes the Kalahari Desert where temperatures easily reach 120F. To cope with these temps Gemsbok have hair on their hides that are hollow, lots of it and these hairs help reduce the amount of ambient and direst solar heat that reaches the body. To touch the coat of a Gemsbok feels like thousands of tiny straws. They are strikingly beautiful normally having a grayish cast to the body. This grayish cast also allows the body to pick up light in wonderful ways, as in this piece. The low hanging evening light has cast a warm hue on these two while they take water at Rietfontain waterhole.

These massive guys look really docile and content in this cooling pool of water. In reality they are deciding whether they should submerge or charge out and bluff us. They actually hurt more people each year in Africa than any other critter, the problem is basically wrong place at the wrong time. The bulls are very territorial and keep a good eye on their harem, if you happen to unknowingly get between the bull and his girls then he takes it out on your canoe or makoro, and you just happened to be in the way. These big guys are awesome and their calls and bellows are such a part of Africa it's hard to think about it without remembering their sounds.

Goas is a waterhole in Etosha National Park in Namibia, Africa. The viewer can get such intimate looks at critters that it's almost unbelievable. This bull giraffe had just finished a pretty lengthy fight with another bull of about the same size. You could feel the electricity in the air prior to and during the fight. THese two giants stood side by side and pummeled each other in the belly and side with the tops of their heads... swung like wrecking balls. You could hear and feel the blows. After 15 to 20 minutes they separated and calmly walked to different sides of the waterhole for a much needed drink. The winner? I'm not sure, but the Giraffes know!
