The Big Fella

I think the colour works well, and the detail is great.

An impressive elephant Paul and you’ve captured the way they lift their feet just right.

A most majestic elephant and impressive elephant Paul. I love the details on his skin.

Always like a good elephant

Looks good to me Dixie. Don’t think you’ve overdone it.

Thank you all for your lovely comments I’m genuinely grateful I was not expecting such nice comments. Like a lot of us I can only see the bits I’m not happy with I know it’s something we all do with our own work at time .

It's a very impressive elephant, Paul and interesting fact about the red dust. Super work!

Very good Paul.

The colours work well Paul, nicely done.

its fine as it is Paul, good ears and trunk.

Many thanks for your kind comments, Anne , Denise, Coral, Stephen and John l really appreciate them .

Splendid Dixie.

I really like it too, personally I don't think there's too much red.

Sylvia and Tanja thank you for your kind comments.

I have seen red elephants in Kenya, so I think you have it just right, Dixie.

He's a magnificent fellow, and personally I prefer the nice lively red colour to grey.

Linda and Sandra thank you for your kind comments I appreciate them. Must be lovely to se the real thing Linda .

You've captured the majesty of the great beast, Paul. Very nicely done!

Seok many thanks for your kind comments.

He’s a big brute Paul but a gentle one. Lovely piece.

Thank you Fiona , they are so big , gentle and very vulnerable , unfortunately killed fir their tusks only. I cannot understand why you would want to shoot just for the sake of saying I’ve shot and elephant here is my photo with the dead elephant ai t I such a great shot . Sorry getting carried away with the frustration I feel when I think about it.

I like your elephant very much Paul!

Your elephant looks really good Paul, a lovely painting

Thank you Cheryl.

Lovely majestic elephant Paul.

Thank you Christine.

This is beautiful Paul and I share all your thoughts on elephants and the tragedy of what is happening to them. I love them- they are such magnificent creatures and it breaks my heart that horrible humans kill them. We don’t deserve them.

Julie thank you for your kind comment and sharing your thoughts.
