Serengeti Sundown-Elephants

I knew something was badly wrong about the colors in my image, but try as I may, I couldn't come close to solving the problem. Well, low and behold, today I solved it...so simple. I take all the photos of my art inside with a light setup that works for me. The camera had gotten on daylight setting instead of incandescent. It's been incorrectly set that way for at least a couple of weeks! No wonder I wasn't satisfied with my color adjustments. Anyhow, Here's a much truer image. ( Sorry about the confusion).

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Joel was the host and provided a bunch of great photos!

 I combined two photos for this painting. A beautiful sundown and two elephants. Something about painting elephants touches a sad spot in my heart, knowing their plight just to survive a bit longer on this planet.

This is oil on a 5x7 canvas board. Part painting knife and part loaded brush. Plenty of paint for texture. I had to re-invent some of the lighting....never an easy thing to do.
Hope ya'all like it!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen was the hostess, and she provided a great group of reference photos.

I really liked the photo of the momma and her babe! Pictures of this sort always stir my emotions. To me this painting represents love, endangerment, the many times this scene has been replayed over thousands of years...A seemingly endless gamut of feelings wells up....But in the end, and in truth, it is a merely a small painting meant to capture the light in a scene.
