Portrait from “The Elephant in the Room”

Inspired by 18th century portraits this series puts one’s attention on only one of the Beings found within the oil & mixed medium painting. Intuitive layers of oil, cold wax, embroidery, and solvents were used to build up ‘The Elephant in the Room’, a part of my Stories on Wood Collection.

‘Tubby’ is the nickname I have given this little almost alien-like Being who emerged out of nowhere. He loves to jump in his striped outfit. Even though many try to poke at his exposed belly while he does so. He doesn’t mind as he is confident in his own skin just the way he’s meant to be.

Printed with a professional grade printer, I use archival pigment inks on fine art paper. Therefore, do not place in direct sunlight unless framed with UV protective glass. 8” x 10” prints will fit nicely into a standard 8” x 10” frame.

My images are reproduced according to the scale/proportions of the original painting. Therefore, each print will have around a 1/2" white border (maybe more depending on the original proportions of the painting) on the top, sides, and bottom. The title of the painting and my studio name are printed underneath the image. Your order will arrive packaged in a protective stiff mailer.
