Description
This is a collaboration, a friend of mine Magriet Meintjes lives in Africa on one of the safari parks and I admired a photo she had taken of this elephant walking down a road, she liked the way I change images with textures and kindly gave me permission to "play with it" and this is the result. I have tried to create a feeling that the elephant was charging through the savanna wind towards the viewer.
It is so sad that these beautiful animals are being hunted mercilessly for their ivory and I do hope that this one is still safe.

You certainly have achieved what you aimed for! It DOES create a feeling that the elephant is charging through the savanna! Great job!

Fabulous work Brian! It's so wonderful that as artists we can collaborate on an artwork with someone thousands of kilometres away in another country; we have this common bond. L/F

Yes Linda, it was nice to work on someone else's photo and I was pleased that Magriet liked it.

What a gorgeous animal and beautiful texture work, Brian. As you said, so very sad that these magnificent animals are being slaughtered for their ivory. Perhaps one day, people will come to the realization that they are worth much more alive than dead. I hope it happens before they are driven to extinction. L/fv/tw Happy Holidays to you and yours, Brian.
