Jock is a male lowland gorilla. At the time I did this painting he was about to be shipped out to Bristol Zoo because an intractable quarrel had broken out between him and one of the female gorillas.
He would sit for about an hour at a time, crouching down with his hand on his chin, gazing into the distance.

Limbolo, thanks for the wisdom. Keep the offerings coming mighty god.
I love gorillas! They're awesome. I really like the way you captured the intensity of Jock. Very menacing but very beautiful.
Here are some of my gorillas: http://frankjuval.net/monkeychow/2006/05/17/repost-monkeyn-around/
