Artwork description

Pintura a Pastel sobre papel Canson por Jim Barber Hove. 23 x 30 cm(9?x12?)
Cervatillo
En uno de nuestros viajes a Cancún con toda la familia visitamos un lugar llamado Aktun Chen. Es un lugar turístico no muy conocido pero muy recomendable. Allí tienen varios atractivos como caminar en las cavernas, subirse a la tirolesa, practicar el buceo con snorkel en las aguas cristalinas de los cenotes y pasillos subterráneos, gozar el zoológico con animales nativos algunos de los cuales andan sueltos en el área y tomar largas caminatas por los muchos senderos que le permiten adentrarse en la jungla maya. Todavía el lugar se conserva en su forma casi natural. Si algún día lo visita no se arrepentirá.
En esta pintura se encuentra un joven cervatillo curioseándose de mí, el fotógrafo. La mamá venado andaba cerca pero no se asusta porque todos los animales del zoológico ya están bien acostumbrados a los turistas pues, para ellos, significan comida gratis en forma de papas fritas, dulces y hasta sándwiches enteros.

Pastel painting on Canson paper by Jim Barber Hove. 23 x 30 cm(9?x12?)
Cervatillo
On one of our family trips to Cancún we visited a place called Aktun Chen. This is a not so well known tourist park on the road to Tulum. Here there are many attractions such as exploring the Aktun Chen cavern with its myriad of underground passages, enjoying the petting zoo where you will find many animals native to the area, flying over the jungle on an aerial zip-line, snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the ?cenotes? (sink wells) or taking long hikes on the numerous trails that take you through the Mayan jungle. The area is still preserved in its natural state. If you are ever in the area you must visit it, you won?t be let down.
In this painting we see a young doe who is looking me, the photographer, over. The mother deer was close at hand but she is not at all afraid because she, like all the other zoo animals, are quite accustomed to the tourists who to them signify free food such as potato chips, sweet candy and even whole sandwiches.

Artist information


Since I can remember I have had an urge to express myself artistically. As a young student, I was interested in sports, singing and theater. In my years at West Bend High School, I was selected to sing in the school choir, to play trumpet in the school band and to act in the school musical productions.
