| There
are two galleries on the site - Wildlife and Vanishing Faces - housing
over 60 images. From the leopard, gently lapping at the edge of a
river, to the elephants thundering across the African plain, to the cheetah
cub poking a tiny paw between the branches of a tree, the breathtaking
portraits of these wild creatures will leave you wishing you could view
the original works right in front of you. All can be purchased as
Giclee prints. E-cards, using these images, are also available, free
of charge, from the site.
There are some problems with
the design of the site, but they are small and should not hinder you're
enjoyment of the art within the pages. Use Internet Explorer
- with Netscape, the functionality of the button to enlarge the pictures
is absent. With anything less than Netscape 6, major parts of the
site are missing altogether. And while there is a link on the Conservation
page to the widely acclaimed limited-edition Smithsonian Endangered Species
Collection, it is not active. The collection, comprised of 12 works,
includes the giant panda, Eld's deer, Przewalski's horse, cheetah, scimitar-homed
oryx, black-footed ferret, maned wolf, Micronesian kingfisher, clouded
leopard, l'iwi/Amakihi (Hawaiian forest birds), Bengal tiger, and African
wild dog.
"Professionally and spiritually,
the people and animals of the world's wilderness have made a profound impact
on my life. Now they need our help and I am truly fortunate to be
able to use my talents to do that in some small measure." - Don Heywood
Don Heywood’s works have
been exhibited at many galleries, including the Royal Academy, London,
and Le Grand Palais Champs Elysees, Paris. Through the wonders
of the internet, you too, can partake of these extraordinary collections
depicting the wilds of Africa by clicking on the image at the top of this
page.
February 2005 Update:
The Wild Africa Art web site appears to be no longer on line. In
its place, this page now links to Don Heywood's personal site.
