This print is called "The Union" by Lynnette Shelley.  Many of her works are done with wild animals, but they are captured very graciously.  She has beautiful use of color and the blending of all of them together creates the perfect feel of "union".  Thick lines are used to determine edges and what belongs with what, but this just gives the print clear shapes, which continuously moves the viewer’s eye.  The patterns and different textures in the back ground add space to the print, but at the same time do not take away from the details of the elephants.  She really captured the beauty of these elephants.
