surestrikeRare and beautiful African art..
It isn't often that one can put on paper a scene as filled with danger and drama as the one artfully depicted below.
In fact it's such a dramatic scene that the artist had to tape two pieces of paper together to get the full effect of the horrible scene which is unfolding.
Very rare is it, when you see,
A lion attacking an elephant which is being chased by a cape buffalo under the African sun!
I was presented this wonderfull picture when I got home from work tonight. Thought some of you would enjoy this.
Part one
Part two
The artist and experienced African traveler and blood tracker 5 Year old Bailee. Bailee and her sister went to South Africa with me a year ago and helped their dad track down a wounded blue wildebeeste.
I presented Bailee with her first rifle this year it is a CZ scout .22LR I suggested that we should put a sticker on it so that it would be personalized. I suggested a Bumble bee she looked at with a very serious 5 year old look and proclaimed "why not a buffalo or a warthog daddy?"

I think I may be in trouble with this one...

Adam Clementssurestrike, that is great and looks like you will be paying for some dangerous game hunting in the future

At least she has good taste on what animals she likes and what are great for hunting. Let me know when she is ready for a buff and will give her a great hunt

Yes I'm sure we'll be working out a finance plan at some time in the future.

T Carr,
Bailee is at the moment having a fit because her mommmy has made her go to bed before she thought it was time. But as soon as we get that ironed out we'll be back in business negotiations HOPEFULLY LATE tommorrow morning..

ErikDA great piece of art!
I can only hope that my 9 month old daughter will grow to have the african interest your lovely daughter has. I'm guessing she will.
It's obvious that you're raising Bailee right.

Datsa nice. You say you've got two daughters? Wait until both are getting into boys, then Soph Hop, Jr. Prom, and Senior Ball. It'll cost a bundle for each! Brother, you be in D.S. then.

MacD37Great art! I'll wager the best trophy you've is standing there holding that spear, and Gemsbok mount! Hard to top that one!
