I love Okapis!



I met this wonderful animal in the middle of a thunderstorm at London Zoo. As I crept into a deserted stable I saw this stunning Okapi. He had such a gentle nature and I was mesmerised by his beautiful coat. After painting him I realised that watercolour in the middle of a thunderstorm can be a bit of a challenge but I made it home with the paintings intact!
