Kingdom

Location: Sloane Square Sponsored by Priya and Cyrus Vandrevala See in situ

Prowling tigers, dancing cranes, strutting peacocks and even dung beetles going about their daily business, these and many others adorn Kingdom. It is a celebration of Asian birds, plants and animals that share the Asian elephant's domain.

Harmony

Location: Green Park Sponsored by Wildlife Protection Society of India . See in situ

Underneath the leafy canopy of bamboo, elephants and tigers thread their way through. I was asked to paint a second elephant on behalf of the Wildlife Protection Society of India, a charity for protecting all animals in India, especially the tiger. They wanted to show elephants and tigers sharing the same environment.
