The Sumatran Orangutan

I have just finished my compact painting of this critically endangered species. You will probably remember the sketch from a few weeks ago. Well, what a difference now that I have “painted him in”. He looks too realistic for words, as his eyes seem to look deeply at you :)

Please do not forget to support the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on 5 June 2015 with their “Wear It Wild” campaign to raise awareness and funds to protect species on the endangered list, like this “Man of the Forest”, which is what Orangutan means in the Malay language. Thank you :)
