This painting was done from a photograph that was taken several years ago. I have thought about doing it for a long time but was afraid I could not do it justice. I suddenly realized that it was silly. If I wasn't happy with the first painting I can always do another and another and another..... and each would be different.

CHIMPANZEE

Chimpanzees once inhabited 25 African countries. Now, they are extinct in 3 or 4 and nearing extinction in many others. Deforestation and commercial hunting for bushmeat are taking a terrible toll on most populations.

All four subspecies of chimpanzee - eastern chimpanzee, western chimpanzee, Nigerian chimpanzee, and central chimpanzee - are Endangered, with western and Nigerian chimpanzees having the smallest populations and being the most threatened.
