Artist: Lay

From: Mbour, Senegal

This stunning painting made up of 5 separate canvases depicts a mother elephant with her young calf, arriving at a peaceful watering hole where they are met by a flamboyance of flamingos (yes, that really is the plural). With a the promise of a new day, there is always reason to be grateful for what we have, rather than to dwell on what we have lost - represented by the black and white motif that encircles the elephants.

On the far right canvas, there is a giraffe couple and on the inner left canvas, the silhouette of a Resplendent Quetzal can be seen perching on the branch of a beautiful acacia tree.

Individual canvas sizes are: Centre canvas - 25x85cm, Inner Canvases - 25x60cm, Outer Canvases - 25x40cm. Best presented mounted on a wall with a 5cm gap between each canvas.

IMPORTANT: 4/5 of the canvases are mounted on stretcher bar frames (ready to hang up). The central canvas had to be remove from its stretcher bars for safe transport back from Senegal. To be mounted onto a frame, this must be organised separately by the buyer and can be £30+ to be mounted professionally.
