Elephant and Calf

This original wildlife study by Catherine Ingleby presents a figurative rendering of a charming Elephant and Calf, producing an endearing and intimate animal portrait. Typically bathed in the sunlight of their natural surroundings, the artist suggests a sense of warmth and luminosity, imbuing the animals with an impression of vibrancy through the use of an orange underpainting. A palette of complementary tones is applied to add to the attractiveness of the piece, as well as setting the subjects against an understated and misty backdrop. The painting is presented in a gold frame which further embellishes and complements the warm tones involved in the study. This modern artwork is painted in oils on canvas board, hand signed by the artist and ready to be displayed.
