"Wise One" was awarded first place in the Animals and Wildlife section in a local art show that I entered it in last year (2007).
The sadness in this beautiful creature's eyes compelled me to create this artwork. Orangutans are facing extinction in the wild due to destruction of their native forest habitat in Borneo and Sumatra, where the rainforests are being destroyed at an alarming rate for cultivation of palm oil plantations.
