Meerkat Oil Painting, Hand Painted Meerkat Standing Sentry in the Kalahari Grass on Canvas, African Wildlife Wall Art

Hand painted oil on canvas of a meerkat on watch. It stands straight up on its back legs with its paws held at its chest and its head turned to the horizon, the dark eye patches and striped back painted in quick strokes, and the dry grass and red sand run out behind it in the heat. Every piece is painted by hand to order, so no two are ever identical. Yours will carry its own brushwork. WHAT IT IS Oil on primed cotton canvas, artist quality paint, finished with a protective varnish. SIZES Ten sizes from 30 cm to 150 cm on the short side (12 to 59 inches).

In our studio in Vietnam, by two painters working full time. Can I order a different size? Yes. Any dimension, we calculate the price for you. Why do meerkats stand up? One member of the group keeps watch on its hind legs while the others forage, and gives an alarm call if an eagle or jackal comes near. Do you ship worldwide? Yes, fully tracked, 7 to 15 business days. What if it arrives damaged? We repaint and reship at our cost, or refund you in full. Will my painting look exactly like the photograph? Very close, but not identical. It is painted by hand, and the brushwork is ours each time. You approve the photograph of your piece before it ships.
