African Oasis“This is Tarangire, a national park in Tanzania and one of my most favorite places in East Africa,” Simon says. “It is midday under a cloudless, scorching sky. At an isolated waterhole under the shade of beautiful Acacia Tortilis trees, many different species of animals come to drink. All the creatures of the wild trudge daily through the hot, dusty, gray bush past giant baobab trees to quench their thirst at this oasis.” (See options...) |

AfterglowAconsumate storyteller, Combes shared this story, "Driving along a dusty track in Nakuru National Park at 7 o’clock one morning, out of the corner of my eye I caught a slight movement in the grass, a shape which broke the pattern of undergrowth some ten yards in. I pulled to a halt and we waited, trying not to be typical tourists, hoping the lions would accept and ignore our presence. After about 15 minutes, we were rewarded when the lioness rose and rubbed her face against the male’s side, then crouched back down in front of him, glancing invitingly over her shoulder and lashing her tail from side to side. He obliged, and with the accompaniment of ferocious growls, the act was over seconds later. The lioness rolled onto her back in an apparent display of satisfaction, the big male flopped down in the grass, his face resuming the look of extreme boredom." (See options...) |

Aftermath"Three years ago, visiting Nakuru National Park near my home in Kenya," recalls Simon Combes. "I found a lion and lioness were having a passionate affair, when, suddenly, there was a mighty roar from an impatient call of a suitor-in-waiting only yards away. The result was Afterglow (a Greenwich Workshop release last year). Returning to the park earlier this year, I found the same pride with the big black-maned lion and his harem. The lioness from Afterglow was patiently enduring the boisterous attentions of two cubs. Again, a compelling subject to paint and an even more compelling title: Aftermath." (See options...) |

Amboseli AncientsLake Amboseli is a shallow, brackish stretch of water at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Most of the "lake" consists of flat, dry salt pans but at the end closest to the mountain is an extensive swamp fed from the glacier and the many streams which flow from its´summit. Surrounding the swamp are forests of acacia trees whose shape is so typically Africa. It is a timeless, ancient land dominated by the towering might of Kilimanjaro and throughout the swamp and lake and grasslands and forests roam herds of those other ancient African giants - the elephants.
