Painting of Malayan Tapirs we made for our current exhibition at Narwhal Gallery in Toronto.   One of several threatened tapir species, The malayan species has a wonderful panda-esque coloration as adults and the young have amazing patterned fur.  Mostly we picked the tapir though because of their noses! They make so many amusing faces that seem to convey human expressions - they are impossible not to like!
