JUMBO SIZE

SOLD

#49
I recently bought three different elephants at the market. Each
one has its trunk in the air which is actually supposed to be lucky.
Does this mean three lots of luck ???

Didn't know that about elephants! I started to say he brought you luck on this painting, but actually I think it's skill. The values in the little elephant are spot on. And the apple is gorgeous. Love the shadows and reflections on it.

Yes, trunks 'UP' are ssupposed to be lucky :-)

Such a sweet painting. I love the color harmony and the way that you were able to catch the smoothness and sheen of the surfaces.

Beautiful! I love the little elephant. Nicely done, I know how difficult it is to paint simple subjects!
Happy Painting,
Nora
