african elephant- Old Warrior

an exercise in insanity done with magnifying glasses and a lamp with a magnifying lens but well worth it in the end. the original is 11"x14".

love your work, and its message. Anytime an artist conveys an important message for preserving these beautiful creatures...we should listen carefully.

I thought elephants were big enough & we didn't need a magnifying glass to see them. Now I find out they're really very small & we do need a magnifying thingy, Superb image!!

Artist Reply: yes,i'm really glad you noticed that robin because it is in fact a little known species on the highly endangered list. it stands approximately 5 inches tall and lives on the vegetation in my backyard so unlike it's much larger cousin it's able to withstand the nasty sub-zero weather we get for 5 months of the year. it's very shy and skittish though (my stone frog really freaks it out) so not many people have had the priviledge of seeing it(in fact i'm the only one to see it so far and people are starting to question my sanity but i swear it does exist).
