Couch Safari (2025)Watercolour
by Kristen Olson Stone

I am particularly fond of elephants! This is an original 20" x 14" or 51 x 36 cm, watercolor painting of a baby elephant in a room decorated with animal prints and chinoiserie.

There are 2 books on the leopard printed table entitled, "Love, Life, And Elephants", and another entitled, "An African Love Story" these names come from the biography of Daphne Sheldrick. She founded Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an organization in Botswana that rescues, rehabilitates and releases orphaned elephants and other African wildlife.

I admire the work they do and am so happy to have completed this painting which features one of their baby female elephants named Losoito who was rescued in April, 2023 from the Losoito region of Tsavo National Park. Losoito's keepers describe her as being delightfully short and stout, with a determined little run that you can spot from a mile away! You can visit Shieldrick Trust online to view the story of Losoito.
