What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant."
- Actor Bill Murray
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!

Still on my quest for painting elephants! This one was done from a RedBubble friend's photograph (Alma) and this I really enjoyed! Another RedBubble friend, Sue Nicholl, also did a sketch of the same photograph, and you can see that HERE.
The name "Time to Retreat" stems from Alma's experience with a charging elephant cow on their visit to the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

ReplyDeleteI love your elephants. I've been spending time sketching and watching them (Kruger, mainly the hide at Byamiti) and they are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! Nice to meet a fellow South African artist!! I've subscribed to your lovely blog, gorgeous paintings! Pleased you like my elephants, looking forward to seeing some of yours! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are wonderful and so inspiring of very familiar subjects.
ReplyDeleteI sporadically paint or draw but not everyday like I used to.
I must make more effort when I feel that urge instead of putting it off.
I look forward to following your blog and your tips!
