I read a quote today-
'...nature is the single most important factor in life; however, it is also the most disregarded, misunderstood, and taken for granted...'
When we are children we grow up with these images of animals at their basic form and shapes, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to capture these magnificent animals on paper and believe I cannot really appreciate their uniqueness until it has flowed through me and my artwork. They are disregarded at times, they are misunderstood, and we are all guilty of taking them for granted. Hopefully there are enough of us out there that will not let these incredible creatures fall, their existence enriches all of our lives. Please do visit those websites that raise money to protect animals in the wild.

You're absolutely right! What an amazing creature this is...and you captured him so well. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished painting. Beautifully done.
Your Elephant is really good. Looking forward to seeing him finished. I like your Rhinos too.
thankyou so much for your encouraging words and kind comments Hilda/Bev :) Jules
And thankyou for yours Julia - I am amazed by your work and really looking forward to regularly reading about your practice. (Would be lovely to see you on one of my stone carving courses if you have the time. I know you would be a star carver!)

Hello thanks for following my blog this elephant looks great.
Thankyou Lesley/Andrew, I adore rhinos and elephants - their textures lend perfectly to pencilwork, Jules
Beautiful work on this one! I feel your pain, if you look back though my blog I have an elephant posted as well. Lot of work but worth every wrinkle and fold. I can't wait to see the finished piece.
I am excited to see your web site to see more of your work!! I am completely in love with the watercolor tiger in your blog heading. I work in watercolor as well, just not as often as pencil!!
Glad you found me, and can't wait to see more of your work!!
