I lost one of my dearest & closest friends this past week. I have a huge hole in my heart & I will miss her so much - words can't even express.
A couple of years ago, when I was struggling with still lifes, Rose gave me this elephant to include in my still life paintings. I found the elephant very daunting & just couldn't quite muster the courage to try & paint him, so instead he sat as a beautiful addition on my entertainment center. I should have painted this while Rose was still alive, but I'm painting it now. I hope she is smiling down from heaven.
My drawing skills need honing, but only I know how out of scale parts of this poor elephant are.

So sorry to hear the sad news about Rose - I know you'll miss her. Your elephant is lovely..
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had problems with my shadows & that back leg. And thank you about Rose. Yes, I will miss her so much.
