High Tracker

More of my paleontology art appears in this gallery:

At one time I had begun writing a science fiction novel about a woman paleontologist time traveler (sound familar). This picture was an effort to cystalize the concept I was working on.

The character was of Kenyan-American ancestry (sound familiar?). Her father had been a big game tracker in Africa who had married a Kykuyu woman.

I had given her a Deinocheirus as a mount, a tenontosaur as the equivalent of a blood hound and a pterosaur as a substitute hawk.

Here she is depicted tracking down the tyrannosaur who ate her graduate advisor.

Now that "Primeval" is covering some of the same territory perhaps I could dust off this project that I abandoned 26 years ago.
