Elephant Wild Art Statue Jungle Paint

A private booking, painting an elephant from the previous urban Wild Art event in Norwich.

I re-decorated an old statue to suit its new owners.

They asked for ‘Jungle’, so drawing on my sketches and memories of growing up in Belize, I hand painted a colourful scene.

Ele’s ears are monstera leaves, she has snakes, tree frogs, butterflies and orchids crawling all over her.

Assorted plant species coat her and she has parrots, macaws, a toucan (national bird of Belize) and a Mayan ruin hiding from the jaguar stalking her side. Very fiddly to paint but fun!
