Purchase Authentic Asian Elephant Trunk Painting $270
Purchase Authentic Asian Elephant Trunk Painting $270
by Melinda
Purchase authentic Asian Elephant trunk painting. Hands down one of a kind. Debi the elephant painted this you for! Debi shares a glimpse of an elephant’s dream in vivid color, titled “Nightmare”. Asian elephants are in danger. By making paintings widely accessible to the general public helps to increase awareness, encourage conservation and raise funds to assist throughout Asia. Debi holds the paintbrush carefully, by the tip of her trunk – which is also the elephants delicate nose area. Slight smudging, and an occasional water droplet here and there are to be expected. I like to consider that these imperfections add to the conversation value of each piece. Debi is a young female elephant artist from Sumatra who took up painting in February of 2010, and is developing her own style. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Auctions have been held at Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Acrylic on Canson paper. 30″ W x 21.75″ H

Boreal Forest Flora And Fauna Color Block Print Art $60
Boreal Forest Flora And Fauna Color Block Print Art $60
by Melinda
Boreal Forest flora and fauna color block print. In order to bring harmony into a space, there has to be the right about of tension, color and contrast. Color block printing does that. Flora and fauna are soothing, and this block print brings the hipness factor forward. For real. The text at the bottom reveals facts about the animals & plants found in the Boreal Forest “Did you know that Violets contains the chemical ionine and the power to short-circuit our sense of smell? The skin of the electric blue salamander is black with electric blue flecks, the shamrock shaped leaves of the common wood sorrel tuck themselves into a downward position at night, and the iconic jack pine is serotinous, meaning fire is necessary to open the cones and release the seeds”. I heart the outdoors. Limited edition print. Stonehenge paper. 20″H, 28″W
