“The Gentle Giant” – Watercolour by Christina Newson
 
Radiating quiet strength and calm dignity, “The Gentle Giant” captures the noble presence of an elephant emerging through a wash of warm, sunlit hues. Deep indigo and amber tones flow together, evoking the balance between power and peace that defines these magnificent creatures.
Christina Newson’s fluid brushwork and instinctive control of watercolour convey both movement and stillness — the shimmering heat of the savannah, the weight of memory, and the soul of an animal that carries wisdom beyond words. The result is a piece that feels alive, contemplative, and deeply emotive.
A striking addition to any fine art collection, this original work embodies Newson’s signature fusion of realism and abstraction — where light, colour, and feeling merge to tell a story that lingers long after the first glance.
