Baby Elephant in the Clouds Painting Monet glowing intensity that feels alive

glowing intensity that feels alive with colour

painted in loose watercolour washes that bleed softly into the pale ground

It electrifies a teenager's bedroom

The sky glows in tender rose and cream tones

The animal stands tall on rust-red earth
