Description

The Rising Soul Giraffe Painting

This original giraffe painting captures this giraffe’s beautiful gazing eyes and long neck. A carefully planned color palette harmonizes and works well in many settings. Inspiration for this painting came from the Naples Zoo referred to as Caribbean Gardens. The artist, Tina A Stoffel, actually fed this giraffe and also photographed the lion portrayed in her prize-winning Pantaleon lion painting.

Naples Zoo was recently under threat from Hurricane Irma. Although the zoo suffered extensive damage, thankfully the zookeepers had a plan in place and all animals are reported to be safe.
