Most of the Baobab sketches which can be seen here show the trees or parts of the species Adansonia digitata found in Southern Africa. Almost all of the sketches were done during or after my journeys to the region. The others derive from my imagination and are drafts for paintings for a Baobab story that I am currently working on. The sketches (approximately 18 x 20 cm) and larger prints (approximately 110 x 150 cm and larger) can be ordered HERE.
