In South Africa, at the Garden Route game reserve, I had the opportunity to quietly observe these two elephants (mother and daughter) off in the distance. Hastily setting up my easel in hopes they didn’t wander away. I can still hear the sound of wind coming off of the hill and bird calls I didn’t recognize. Can you hear them catching up on their day - sharing a story. Enjoying a peaceful, friendly moment between them. Oil on board. Plein aire. One of few that I didn’t feel the need to edit in my studio. For the person who feels their place within the spirit of the earth. Available as both an original oil painting and in fine art prints.
