The first of a set of Vulture compilations, which I honestly just loved completing, and will be a few more to try and show the pure beauty of these stunning birds.  The Original is titled 'Committee Meeting'
 
Vultures are a Keystone species, but have sadly suffered catastrophic and unprecedented population declines, mainly because of poison, with four species now Critically Endangered.  Vultures do the dirty work of cleaning up after death, helping to keep ecosystems healthy as they act as natural carcass recyclers, they are natures clean up crew.
 
I wanted to complete a portrait that simply showed their beauty, as they are often thought of as 'ugly' or 'grotesque'.
 
The Original comes double mounted, framed in a charcoal frame with an inner chrome trim, Certificate of Authenticity and the price includes Special Next day delivery.
 
 
A percentage of the Original will be donated to VulPro.
 
VulPro collects injured vultures from all over South Africa, undertaking ground breaking veterinary treatment and rehabilitation initiatives to give each vulture that comes into our care, a second chance and the best possible hope for survival and release (VulPro.com)
 
Framed it is approximately 32" x 23", so quite a large portrait.
