Hoff, "Burning Bright," digital painting |
In past editions of this blog I've posted digital images of endangered species, including the Amur tiger (above), a big cat whose population likely comprises fewer than a thousand. In most cases, the shrinking numbers of animals like orangutans, among thousands of other species, is because of loss of habitat. Humans destroy, occupy, pollute or otherwise alter the ecology in such a way that endangered species can't survive.
I am honored to participate in Endangered Art4Apes a virtual fine art and photography show spotlighting endangered species. Two of my digital paintings are included in their efforts to assist a great ape sanctuary in Florida, The Center for Great Apes. The art show has previously been gallery-based with an additional online presence during its history but this year it has gone entirely virtual. Clicking the first link above takes you to a state of the art 3-D set of galleries that display winners, highly commended works, and so on. I am happy to have two pieces in the show.
Most everything on the site is for sale. Purchase one of these giclee prints via the show and the Center receives one-third of the proceeds. In the spirit of the dreadful climate and species emergency, I will donate the remainder to selected non-profits also working to save the inhabitants of our planet.

Alternatively, you can purchase individual prints or signed sets of four through my website. They make a great holiday gift, you're supporting a creative endeavor, and helping preserve the earth. Pretty good deal.
The online show ends December 31 so take some time to browse through the online galleries before the holidays, and find a work you'll enjoy.
