Arlo is a beautiful colourful elephant. This is the original 80x70cm oil painting on canvas with a grey background.
You might have seen some of my colourful elephants before, for instance, Hugo the elephant is a best selling print. Hugo, and this elephant, Arlo, are based on real elephants that I have encountered on the Maasai Mara. Happily African elephants are not held in captivity in northern Europe and as a consequence when you see an African elephant for the first time you really gasp at their size and majesty.
They took my breath away.
So my bold colour choices have been based on how can I take your breath away when you look at my elephants. This particular elephant has been painted in such a way that it almost reminds me of a stained glass window. I adore using colour in surprising ways and elephants seem the perfect model for me to do that Arlo the elephant was seen out on the main reserve of the Masai Mara in the early morning sunshine and I took many many photographs of him whilst also sketching him in my sketchbook. Seeing a completed oil painting from such an inspiring moment is a real joy for me.
Arlo is available as a print however if you want to own the one and only original oil painting of Arlo it is available here exclusively on my website .
Arlo would be the perfect finishing touch to any room and will make you smile every time you look at him.
This original painting comes unframed with D rings and hanging cord attached ready to hang.
Postage and packing to Uk is included in the price. Select Free shipping at the checkout.
