Every Day in May Challenge: Baby Elephant

"Milk" Baby Elephant (Watercolour)
“Milk” – Baby Elephant (Watercolour)

Another week whizzes by! I’m still just about managing to keep up with the Every Day in May Challenge, although I am now constantly one day behind… today I thought I had found time to complete the two outstanding pieces to bring me up to speed, but after searching for inspiration for the subject “milk” I found this gorgeous baby elephant on Paintmyphoto and that was the end of that plan.

Instead of finding two simple and quick pieces I spent the rest of the afternoon completely lost in this painting, trying to capture that mischievous eye and his beautiful pink/brown skin. At 10.30pm tonight I finally decided it was finished enough to submit for the challenge, however, now I’m wondering whether it needs a background …. And that floating hand is giving me much cause for concern! I might have to revisit this one.

  1. Well, you got the eye!! The eye is both believable and delightful. now this is where you continue to shine Kez…yes, you can fix the free-floating hand, of course. But the eye is a winner. We all fall in love with the little fellow. xxx

  2. If you put this on Facebook there will be “Aaaahhhhhhh’s” coming from all over the world.
    In a word……# Fabulous.
