Elephant Reflecting

Every so often I feel the need to paint my spirit animal.

Elephant

I think painting elephants is one thing I will always come back to. Did this one on a smaller panel and kept it really loose.

In the Wild

My very sweet painting friend Sherri had a friend travel to the Serengeti a while back. She generously passed along many photos to me, including some great elephant ones. I much prefer to paint animals in their natural habitat and love elephants, so I was thrilled.

Elephant in Grays

I have been on an elephant and octopus kick, painting larger again too. Just when I think I've found my niche, I'm off in another direction! Just enjoying the ride!

This one was painted on a black gessoed canvas, like most things I've been doing lately. Nice and loose with fun bits of the black peeking through.

Elephant

I remember the days when all I used to paint were elephants! Beyond thrilled to say that this painting came to me the same way as my previous post--completely organically. It is so loose and I had the best time painting it. It's taken me about two years, but it kind of feels like I've come full circle with this one.

Watercolor Elephant

It's hard to believe that I waited as long as I did to paint an elephant with my watercolors. This one was done in my moleskine journal. I love the soft easiness of it. The chickadee was also done in my journal.
