After a pause in his adventures since his 2020 trip to Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Amboseli wildlife parks due to the pandemic, Moish Sokal has returned from another trip to the Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro and produced new watercolor paintings that will be exhibited at Malthouse Gallery of East Lambrook Manor Gardens from July 2 to July 22.
Upon his return to England, he painted his impression of the wildlife he witnessed, producing stunning wildlife paintings.
He has also revisited his old collection of photographs from last year and reimagined them in his unique style.
His latest art is inspired by the wildlife he witnessed. During his safari trip, he saw elephants and cheetahs hunting in the Tarangire National Park.
At one point he discovered a sleeping leopard and quickly retreated from the open roof of the vehicle, he said: “I was terrified! The animal was just a pounce away from my head!”
He slept under the starry sky with the sounds of the African bush surrounding him and described the nights in the Serengeti as ‘magical’.
While observing the wildlife when visiting the Ngorongoro Crater which was once a volcano but now a grassy plane, he saw a lion feast upon a zebra.
He went on to visit a coffee plantation near Mount Kilimanjaro and tried out the local coffee-making process.
He Crossed the Kenya border in Horohoro and continued into the Tsavo wildlife parks, he saw herds of elephants near pale blue waterholes.
