The title is taken from a printed label of The Wildlife Art Society pasted to the back. The picture shows a young elephant in the water, being joined by a parent, trunk raised up high, wading in from the stony bankside, under a bright blue sky. Ken Stroud has a lifelong passion for natural history, conservation and the countryside which provided the spur for an early interest in wildife art and continues to provide a catalyst for current and future work. He works mainly in acrylics, aiming to produce works that depict the natural world as a living, exciting place, if possible with the minimum influences that man has wrought on the environment. Each painting strives to tell a story, showing the interaction between various animals, with each other, other species, or with their environment.
