Art of the Safari

You don’t have to be an artist to appreciate the talent that goes into every stroke of the brush used to create the elegant works showcased at the 2013 Dallas Safari Club convention and expo.

The event was held in Dallas Jan. 3-6, attracting artists—and art buyers—from around the world. Here’s a tiny sample of what they, along with more than 40,000 hunters who also attended the show, enjoyed.
