Original painting 816 x 534 mm of a Charging Bull Elephant. Oil on board, signed. Price will increase with time, buy now to avoid the rush. Vic Andrews is a South African born painter who has paintings in galleries world wide. He was born in 1922 (East London) and I believe is still alive in 2009. The frame corners are a bit loose and there are a few dents due to a number of house moves so it is included for free.
Above the elephant's left ear is a brown line that came away with some surface grime in the manner or Marmite/Vegemite when I rubbed it gently with a damp finger. The painting is not dated but has been in the family for about 30 years.

While taking more accurately measurements of the painting I found that it is not a canvass painting but in fact on 'board' (hardboard or compressed Masonite here in South Africa).

I have a set of three of these paintings, and have given more away as gifts. I love the way they capture India - tradition foremost in the way that the new mingles with the old.
