Hazzard"

This painting depicts one of the many
challenges experienced by early safaris in East Africa.
In the early 1900s many well known big
game hunters of the time, such as Blixen, Judd, Foran and even
Roosevelt, ventured into the little known and unruly area known
as the Lado Enclave (Belgian Congo).
It was a hazardous exercise to move a
safari safely through the bush and ford the many rivers and other
bodies of water.
In this painting a rogue bull elephant
has suddenly emerged from the dense growth at the rivers
edge and challenged the safari.

incidents in Volume II of Seerey-Lesters book Legends
of the Hunt - Campfire Tales, due out in 2012.
