Fiona thank you for the remark " Such a powerful statement " I like to tell stories, set a mood or series of events in motion that convey things in nature and life that will make the viewer pause for a moment and absorb the art. I try to do it in a way that has not been done a million times by other artist. This was a new thecnique for me my version of pointillism and free hand lines combined to create the skin texture I wanted. Thank you for stoping by !

Thank you Eward for the comment and vote I am happy you stoped in. In this work the man behind the gun is a pocher not a hunter that has shot one elephant the one in the back ground and before he could close his bolt to reload the Matriarch bull has grabed the gun. This is not ment to be a anti hunting work in any way just anti poaching and my way of telling a story with art. A am proud to call my self a hunter who enjoys feeding my family with game I harvest,butcher and prepair myself however I can not stand the needless slughter of elephants for ivory pushing their numbers dangerously low.
