Elephant Rear

Went and looked at my Paintings file and this is the 19th elephant that I've done! This one was created for the Daily Paintworks "Elephant" challenge and I decided to have some fun with color and also decided to go for a rear view. The photo for this painting was provided by friends Wade and Sheena Hanson who have given me many great photos from their trip to Africa.

Rear View Companion

This is part two in an elephant triptych, done as a commissioned companion piece to a previous painting I had done. The whole process just flowed so easily from the sketch to the color mixing to the loose knife strokes. I strayed from the five colors I have been using for about two months and brought out some of my old favorites to mix with. Happiness all around--do you see it?

Check back soon to see the third piece. All of these paintings will be awaiting a new baby boy.
