This is taken from a photo I took at the Madikwe Game reserve in the North West Province here in South Africa. Painted with W/N Paints on 300gsm watercolour paper.
“What I have lost by your neglect, you owe to me. And then he gave them heavy tasks to do and bound them to their posts with chains, where they remained till they had paid for all the goods their lord had lost through neglect.” Aquarian Gospel
This is wonderful, Debbie. We watched a nature program on TV last night all about these gentle giants…..very touching & informative.
You are always the first to comment Marsha!! Thank you so much! I just love these wonderful creatures and love watching them for hours wading and frolicking at the waterholes. They are very special animals and hunted so senselessly for their tusks!
Love the look on his face, a gorgeous painting and great composition Debbie!
Arie, Im glad you like the look on his face. A rather relaxed ellie coming through the thicket just glancing at us to make sure we were aware of his presence. Thanks for your comment!
