Awesome painting here of the elephants. I love the soft colors and the detail in the water. Nice perspective with mother and calf in front and others in the background. Neat job!

What an incredible painting, canvas might have made it a little better but than again it might not. Good choices of color, nice details and solid lines. Nice work!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Impressive misty rendition of a mother and child.
Humble but victorious.
Heads bowed down...
But morale boosted.
Eyes looking at their reflections...
But hearts leaping up on Cloud 9!
Excellent strokes.
Harmonious colors.
Great DOF & fading perspectives.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh this really is charming! A delightful scene with mother and baby and I see lots of wonderful texture. I once had the opportunity to swim in the sea with a baby elephant in Thailand - it was magical!

Comment from trishgoody
This is a very appealing painting Suzanne with such an awesome subject. Elephants are magnificent and this mother and bay at the water hole is beautifully rendered with what I would consider impressionistic overtones. I like the overall mistiness of this image allowing the elephants to take centre stage.
Very impressive!
