 So I'm taking this wonderful class, and no, the teacher is not paying me and I'm not a close friend (although I love her from the videos), but I think when you find a good thing on-line you should share it. It may be just what a new artist needs on their journey. This class has been a very good fit for me. My daughter wanted an elephant. SO....... I got started but had a very, VERY, hard time with it. One of my fellow classmates (thanks KARIN) suggested I ask the elephant because she stated: "In eastern tradition, the elephant god, Ganesh, is the Remover of Obstacles". So what the heck? And the elephant talked to me. I said, "You're messy, you know". The Elephant said, "I know, but so is your daughter's hair and her house. Let me be". I said, "Elephants are hard to paint, geeeez". He said, "Then let me just step out of the picture. Quit being afraid of me. I remove obstacles, remember?" And so I named him, "The Remover of Obstacles" and I hope he gives you courage to remove the obstacles in your life today and makes you smile. Talking to elephants can be very enlightening! |
There's a stirring deep within me...

I think your elephant is beautiful, and so is the story about it. Thanks for sharing.
I think talking to elephants agrees with you because he is magnificent and he speaks to me and art should speak to you. Well done!
your elephant is breath-taking + delicious at the same time! LOVE!
Oh this class has been a great fit for you, it seems to fit so well with how you paint and Mr. Elephant is proof! He may have given you a hard time, but I love the wonderful translucent layers of colours.
Stunning!
