Senkewe by Robin J. Andreae11" x 14" Acrylics on stretched canvas
08/21/2007
I finally finished this painting for the auction. It's a tribute to Senkewe, the silverback leader of the Rugendo family. He was one of the victims in the last attack on the gorillas. It's painted from a composite from several photos that I could find of this majestic leader. I only hope that it does him justice. It's kind of strange, I unintentially put what looks like a scar on his upper lip, like the one Crazy Horse has. They say Crazy Horse's spirit lives on in those who remember. He was the defefender of the Lakota people. ~ Robin J. Andreae

Robin, It is beautiful. I know for sure that Senkewe's spirit will live on for me.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Lisa
Robin,
My Dad painted me a beautiful painting of a Mother and Daughter Giraffe. I love it. Would it be possible to donate a print of that to the Auction in September and how could I send you a picture of it so that you can see it?
