Hi Barbra-Your elephants are so dear. I really love Mom’s head pressed against her calf. Really nice idea for this theme and beautifully done.

This is just a nice, fun, and cute piece. Thanks, Barbra.

Oh, I love this – it has so much feeling. I also think you have placed them really well, and your peek of skyline high in the background is a wonderful touch.

Barbra, I can just imagine them interacting, very loving.

It is touch that most conveys the bond of love. You have expressed it very well in your painting.

Was going to make a trunk call to thank you all but email is quicker. Thank you so much for your comments, very much appreciated and encouraging. Elephants are my favourite animal
because they are huge but gentle and wonderful with their families. Did you know they even shed tears when they lose someone close, and feel over the entire body with their trunks?

Really lovely, Barbra. Who couldn’t love elephants. A very nice picture.
