It’s lovely Paul, delicate muted washes of watercolour!

Thank you Denise and Heather I appreciate your comments. It was quite fun to do and turned out better than I thought it would, mind you I had no preconceived ideas of what it would look like.

A4 watercolour using up paint from the pallet , about 10 - 15 minutes. Elephant’s having a family dust bath , done just for fun , I wasn’t sure what I would paint when I started as I had seen a couple of photo’s earlier in the day of the elephant I decided to do my interpretation.
