Donaldson's passion for the wildlife of Africa led him to write a book "Africa, An Artist's Journal" detailing his travels and experiences that give him the reference for his beautiful paintings.

He designed, wrote and illustrated the book himself; it became a best-seller in five countries and won the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum book award for design. |
