Watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
.
Africa’s wild animals are a constant source of inspiration and for me elephants symbolise
Strength, Solitude, sense of loyalty to the family and Intelligence. Looking into the eye of an elephant, one sees Wisdom beyond our understanding.
I sketched this young elephant on a visit to the Elephant Sanctuary Hartebeespoort Dam in the North-West Province of South Africa, where they provide a “halfway house” for young African elephants in need of a temporary home.

Thank you for your kind comment Heidi – to have a “seeing eye” is wonderful and mostly it is because people don’t “look” anymore and just take everything for granted. Gr
