    1. Thanks y'all! I call this one my "angry" elephant, for it just was not working, so stopped trying to make it work and abandoned all rules and boundaries and just had fun with color. When I was done having fun, this was the result:-)

  8. Haha! What a great poem you got. I can totally see Sam Gamgee reciting it too, his eyes all lit up.

    Beautiful elephant. Wow, such wonderful texture! And the colors!
