"The Bushmen and Aiko" (12x16 inch oil on canvas with golden metal leaf and embossed Flower of life in the middle)
This Bushmen from the San people sits down and looks relaxed as the fully grown cheetah named Aiko, strolls and bows before him in the Naankuse Wildlife Reserve in central Namibia, Africa.
The San have a deep respect for wildlife, they are thought to be the oldest living culture in earth.
This respect for nature and the environment is something that has been lost by many other cultures around the world.
