This is a painting that I did for Joyce Poole for her fundraisers held in California, first at PAWS. I was so honored to be asked to do a painting and I chose a photo, taken by Joyce's husband, Petter Granli, of Echo and her daughter Espirit. I just loved the beautiful connection between mother and daughter.
Echo was the well studied matriarch of the Amboseli.
Sadly Echo passed away Sun, 3. May 2009. Click here. for the notice of her death and click here for how her family is dealing with her passing.
