Description
Finally finished this big guy! 😄 This was technically my first piece that I started after I got back from Africa, but the Impala was quicker to finish. It was SO cool to see this bull elephant called Boswell stand up on his back legs to grab at the Albida tree branches. He had taught himself this skill, so he had a distinct advantage over the other elephants in reaching more food. It was awe-inspiring to see such a large animal make himself even larger in this manner! He had a tracking collar on, but to make the image more pleasing, I decided to remove that. 😉 Hope you all enjoy him! This piece is available for now, but if there are no takers, he's coming with me to the Out West Art Show in Montana when March rolls around.

"Just Within Reach"
9" X 12"
Graphite on Clayboard
