36x36" Mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
In “Charles the Strong”, I honor the life and legacy of Charles, the beloved gorilla who welcomed visitors to the Toronto Zoo for decades. His strength, calm presence, and quiet leadership inspired everyone who met him. Surrounded by a vibrant jungle of turquoise, emerald, and gold, and watched over by a curious toucan, this oil and mixed media painting captures both his power and his gentle soul - a tribute to a life that touched so many hearts.
