A spotted hyena, painted with patience rather than apology. The coat is built from ochre, sand and umber, laid down in short, certain strokes. The expression is level and unhurried, an animal seldom given a portrait, given one properly.
The Hollow belongs to The Watchers, a Pennywell series of animal portraits painted to be looked at, and to look back.
Each piece is produced to order. Available as a fine art print, a hand-stretched canvas, or a framed canvas in a black or oak float frame.
