ORIGINAL WILDLIFE ART BY ILSE:  Craig  - Original Oil Painting by ILSE de Villiers
"Craig" - Original oil painting by South African wildlife artist ILSE de Villiers, measures 50"x57". The iconic bull elephant, Craig, is one of the last rare relics of a forgotten era. Decades ago these formidable giants roamed east, central and southern Africa. But over the years, their numbers have dwindled so dramatically that those few remaining are now only found in protected areas like Tsavo Trust in Kenya's Amboseli National Park. As an artist, I longed to capture the magnitude and magnificence of one of these super tuskers on canvas and decided on Craig. The unique curve and size of his tusks not only makes him recognizable, but also earmarks him as a super tusker, seeing that each tusk weighs well over 100 lbs. This beautiful painting will be a collectors item, focal point and conversation piece in your home or office.
