New release – Elephant watercolour

by OliviaNovember 9, 2014

I created this watercolour painting when I was ten years old and I created it because I love elephants! Did you know that the future of elephants in the wild is at risk. Poachers are capturing elephants for their ivory and because of this there will not be any elephants roaming wild by 2025. To learn more about how you can help save elephants go to: www.wwf.ca, www.elephantvoices.org, www.tusk.org, www.savethelephants.org

Here is a picture of the New York time bestselling author Jodi Picoult holding my elephant watercolour as her recent release “Leaving time” focuses on the amazing intelligence of elephants. Then below is a close up of the original elephant watercolour painting. This painting will be going to print this week. Email me if you would like to order a print or a set of cards.
