For the wild at heart there finally comes a painting that embraces the beauty and drama of the natural world. Of Ivory is heavily detailed, carefully and realistically executed portrait of one of the animal kingdom's most majestic and fascinating members- the elephant. In this large, original canvas painting the animal comes traipsing through lush, wonderfully colored tall grasses and almost seems as if he will stride right out of the painting and into your room. Take a moment to appreciate the details in the animal's face: the carefully controlled and applied brush strokes that create the ridges in his trunk and the shadows and points of light that create the texture and dimensions in his ears, the simple, yet compelling shapes that create the soft expression in his eyes. The more time you take to look at Of Ivory, the more the painting reveals. There are so many stylistic elements and so many graceful artistic touches that you will never tire of observing and enjoying this beautiful canvas painting. The colors that dominate this piece are very much the ones that dominate the natural world- the green of the grass, the blue of the sky and the neutral tones of the animal's heavy skin. This color pattern is eye-catching to most and complimentary to almost any decorative color palette. Of Ivory can easily be integrated into all kinds of rooms and decors- from kitchens, to bedrooms, to living spaces to offices. Wherever this painting is hung it will surely spur interest and conversation.

Of Ivory is available on a single large canvas. The single canvas is a traditional layout that is complimentary of the subject matter at hand. The colors, lines and subjects are free to move fluidly and without interruption across the landscape the artist has created for us to enjoy in this painting. This painting is rather large, the scale of the canvas reflecting the enormity of the majestic animal that moves across the piece. The sizable nature of this piece makes it a greater centerpiece to a room, while its colors and references to the natural world will never overwhelm or dominate a room. If you would like to explore more depictions of wildlife of this nature, as well as paintings with natural colors and design, try browsing our African Canvas section. For another, softer portrayal of a living subject, you may want to take a moment to look at Forgiving Woman.
