Bright knife-stroke elephant head portrait canvas art

An elephant's head fills the left half of a white canvas in profile, its ear, brow and curling trunk built entirely from short, thick slabs of turquoise, cobalt, scarlet and yellow.

The back of the head and the ear run off the left edge, which pushes the animal forward toward the empty right side, where a single pale grey-blue tusk points out into bare white. Strokes follow the form: they cross the trunk in bands, so it reads as rings of muscle, and cluster around the small dark eye. The trunk ends in a curl of red with yellow flecks, the hottest spot on the canvas.

CA#078 is an original colorful animal painting showing elephant head built from vivid palette-knife strokes on white, hand-painted in acrylic on canvas with a heavily textured impasto surface. It is painted to order in any size; the 14 standard sizes run from 20×24 in (51×61 cm) to 60×80 in (153×203 cm). Painting takes about 10 days and delivery 5–7 days by DHL, FedEx or UPS; the minimum order is one piece.

Since the elephant faces right, place it so the tusk points into the space: on the left-hand wall of an entrance or to the left of a shop counter, greeting visitors as they turn. A white or pale grey wall lets the bare background merge with the plaster, so the head seems to push out of the wall. Light from one side picks out the ridge of each slab, and pale oak or polished concrete keeps the colour the loudest thing in view.

Specified for gallery & retail, lobby & reception, entryway & hallway and living room; it reads as bold and uplifting.

These share its palette, format and surface, so the three hang as a set: a run along a hotel corridor, a pair either side of a bed with this one between, or one per suite on the same floor.

Size

Price follows canvas area. The standard sizes run from 20×24 in to 60×80 in; any other size is quoted the same way.

Finish

Surface

Thick impasto uses more paint and takes longer to dry than flat brushwork, which the price reflects.
