About The Artwork
This magnificent elephant was called Rajan and was one of the last logging elephants in The Andaman Islands and used to swim between the islands to do his work. He was 62 years old when I visited him in retirement on Havelock Island and washed behind his massive ears one peerless morning on the beach. He would snorkel with you for a fee, had his own bank account to pay for vet's bills and lived to the grand old age of 66. After many years of hard labour, he spent his twilight years just shambling around the jungle with his mahout and being spoiled by the guests at Barefoot resort! What a privilege I had to meet this amazing gentle giant. Requiescat in Pace Rajan. Marianne xx The painting is ready to hang in your home.
