Description
Standing the Test of Time - 12" x 18" - August 2012 - WatercolourHere she is - my completed painting!! I am so UTTERLY thrilled with this painting, and have entered it into the CSPWC's Open Water Watercolour competition - keep your fingers crossed for me!!
This painting features one of three African elephants (Iringa, 42, Toka, 41, or Thika, 31) from the Toronto Zoo. I've only ever visited this zoo once, with a dear friend, back in 2009, when my photo reference was taken, and didn't know of their fate until recently when I was researching on the net, trying to gather a little more information on which one I had painted. I hope all three 'stand the test of time' with their impending move.

truly amazing...I have VERY little experience with watercolor, but can't imagine doing something this detailed with them. My gf loves elephants, I'll have to show her

Thank you so much! I really enjoy using watercolours, and have tried using less detail, but it always backfires on me... I just keep adding and adding
