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
