'elle study'

CENTERPIECE OF  'oh .... you do animals' show

                             

'elle study' was/is a charcoal study glazed with acrylics.  since the featured artist show i added more yellow light behind the trunk ... creating more movement. when i observed her she was playing with another elephant and the original sketch had two trunks dancing but this is where i ended up !!            

below are 3 pics showing close-ups of the texture.  the tusks pic is a little dark ... it was the only way i could capture the textures and colors in the white.

hanging in huntington beach at the rainwater gallery with 'lion jovi'

the way i imagined both as room dividers so to speak.
