 Inspiration
 
This piece comes from another wonderful afternoon spent in the company of elephants, in Pilanesberg National Park. My wife and I watched as a group of bulls, one large male and a couple of younger lads, came down to the waterhole for their afternoon fun. Whilst two of the younger males were engaged in a bout of vigorous sparing, the big bull came across to gently break-up the dispute. This artwork comes from the moment he gently laid his trunk on the head of the young instigator, which put an end to the roughhousing and returned peace to the waterhole.
 
Having experimented on black-paper for a few smaller pieces, I felt this piece was right for this approach, highlighting the intimate moment between the big bull and the young upstart, where, it felt like he was imparting a gentle lesson. To keep simplicity and focus the viewer in on the interaction, I chose to fade out the bodies into the blackness.
 
The original is unfortunately no longer up for grabs but, ass with all my works, 30% of the profits from this work and prints sold will go to African Parks to fund vital conservation work across the continent.
