Holding You Close Tonight by Elle Pervez - The state of the world today, and the crazy of those who lead, has me holding my loved ones close. This artwork speaks to the love and pain of it all, and the desire to fly away from the pain, but the need to hang on to hope. I hope this soft landscape makes you feel at once hopeful for our world, and gives you space to ponder a way through. 

The land herself is inspired by the Australian desert, and Alice Springs area in particular.

Unstretched canvas size: 100w x 166h cm

Approximate size after stretching: 88w x 150h cm

Medium: Acrylic on unstretched canvas.

This artwork is on unstretched canvas. I estimate the size of the painting to be 88 × 150 after stretching and have provided a few photos to show you the excess canvas to facilitate framing. Please note this artwork will come rolled. The ripple effect you see if because the canvas is not stretched - once stretched, it will be taught and the ripple effect of the canvas will vanish.
