Artist Comments:
African elephants are native to Africa. They are characterized by having enormous flapping ears and ivory tusks. These magnificent creatures are the largest living land animal. Being hunted for their ivory tusks and their shrinking natural habitat, have been instrumental in placing these animals on the endangered species list.
Several years ago an acquaintance of mine went on an African safari. While there they snapped a photo of this elephant and emailed it to me. I liked it so much I did this painting from it.
