I would really like to hear from you great folks by leaving a comment, thanks.
..........................Top Elephant Facts.................................
Most of us are well aware of elephants and have even seen at least one of them in person at a zoo or circus. In some of these locations you can even ride them due to their calm and gentle nature.
There are many great facts about the elephant though that you should learn about, and this is the place to do so.
1. Elephants are the largest of all land animals in the world.
2. It takes a female 22 months from conception to have a baby. This is longer than any other animal in the world.
3. A newborn elephant can stand up shortly after being born. They can weigh up to 260 pounds.
4. The average life span for an elephant in the wild is from 50 to 70 years. They oldest known elephant in the world lived to be 82 years of age.
5. The heaviest elephant in the world weighed 26,000 pounds.
6. The word elephant means ivory.
7. It is only a myth that elephants are afraid of mice. This legend states that the mice can run up the trunk and suffocate them but there is no truth to this at all.
8. The trunk of an elephant has more than 40,000 muscles in it.
9. Elephants are herbivores, this means that they are plant eaters.
10. Elephants consume large amounts of water – up to 15 quarts of it at once.
11. Elephants love to swim.

has a strong feeling, but would be stronger had the elephant's left ear extended out of the frame, creating a more 3D look

I actually painted the full ear and its under the oval matte. It helped me get a better feel for the painting.
So I shall give it a try and just extend it past the matte .......stay tuned
