Couch Safari

An original 20" x 14" or 51 x 36 cm, watercolor painting of a baby elephant in a room decorated with animal prints and chinoiserie. 

There are 2 books on the leopard printed table entitled, "Love, Life, And Elephants", and another entitled, "An African Love Story" these names come from the biography of Daphne Sheldrick.   She founded Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an organization in Botswana that rescues, rehabilitates and releases orphaned elephants and other African wildlife. 

I admire the work they do and am so happy to have completed this painting which features one of their baby female elephants named Losoito who was rescued in April, 2023 from the Losoito region of Tsavo National Park.  Losoito's keepers describe her as being delightfully short and stout, with a determined little run that you can spot from a mile away!   Click here to read the entire story of Losoito, 

This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity.  It has been painted with Rembrandt professional watercolors and De Atramentis Archival ink on Arches, French made all cotton 300gsm watercolor paper.
