African Elephant with young, Watercolor on 300lb paper. This is a charming painted artwork depicting an adult elephant and a baby elephant (calf) standing together in an African savanna setting. The adult elephant looms large in the background with its ears fanned out and trunk slightly raised, while the small calf stands directly in front, facing away from the viewer toward the adult. Both elephants are rendered in soft grey tones with expressive, textured brushwork that gives the piece a warm, illustrative quality. The background is painted in earthy sandy tones of tan and muted orange, evoking a dry, sun-baked landscape. The piece has a tender, intimate feel.
