Zambezi - Our Kingdom by Brita Harland - 36x20x2" oil on canvas



This beautiful diptych painting depicts a magical Zambezi valley scene, of three big elephant bulls, standing in the late afternoon light in a mopane forest.

Living and working on safaris with her husband Richard – the legendary hunter and author - in the great Zambezi Valley and Gonarezhou, has provided Brita Harland with a wealth of first hand observation of the bushvelt and big game. Significantly she grew to love the harsh dry environment of these wilderness areas where the long, hot days and dry mopane forests created the special magic of Africa.

Brita’s style and subject matter has found widespread favour, resulting in a number of exhibitions and many commissions. Much of her art has found its way to private collections, not only in Africa, but also Europe & the USA.

I have several of Brita's paintings and they are very nice indeed. Couple the fact that she is a exceptional artist with the fact that she is Richard Harland's wife, a man who has as much elephant hunting experience as virtually anyone alive, and you have a wonderful conversation piece (in this case, pieces!) to enjoy . . . not to mention supporting a worthwhile effort like DAPU. This is a winner all the way around.

Yep, I missed out on purchasing one of Brita's paintings when we were over on the Dugga Boy's hunt. I swear they put them on display while I was being kept in the bush. Probably not against my will however. Being smart investors, Mr. Jines, Gorney, etal. scooped them up!

But seriously, great artwork for a great cause!

Good chance to bid on one again and have the proceeds go to DAPU.

I was lucky to have the opportunity, thanks to Buzz, to purchase one of Brita's works of art. I love the painting for its depiction (elephant) and that Brita and Richard are at the top of the list of those due true admiration in the hunting world at least as far as Zimbabwe and all things elephant are concerned. We were all so fortunate to have Richard in attendance for many of our daily hunts on the Dugga Boy hunt in 2014 and to hear, firsthand, Richard's views on modern and historical topics.

DAPU is a great cause and it is what is worthwhile and working in Zimbabwe right now. It should be supported and elevated.

Agreed, DAPU does a grand job of pushing back against the illicit pressures on the wildlife resource. CMS surcharges 1% of the basic hunt cost as a contributory amount to the funding of DAPU. In my view that's fair, but I was happy to pay more than this amount when settling my final bill after my recent hunt. With greater funding DAPU would be even more effective.
