Description

Where would we be Without the Love and protection Of our family? Wild Family prose by Carol Cavalaris © Credits: Another in my 'Spirit of the Wild'series, created in Photoshop CS, using elephant photo and painting techniques, blended with a Painted Drama background by designfera. Special thanks to Shannon and Jonathan for their wonderful African elephants photo. Original painting is huge so zoom if you want to see the details. Inspired by the holidays spent with my family. Hope you enjoy. CC This artwork is available as a Fine Art Print and ArtCard at my website, and on specialty items like mugs and mousepads at my Zazzle store.

This is very beautifully created with a wonderful atmosphere and super brushwork. I love the little babies peeping out from underneath.

in the hues & dappled shade that you've applied to these elephants, you've given them all a patina of togetherness: They share in the same hues, the same patina, the same glow, softness & shade. But of course they're all different. They're arranged in a dramatic "coming at you" perspective, you've angled the side elephants nicely from the big two, center & right (who are fierce in their power & frontality). And you have delightful young members peeking out from in between, like sprouts coming out of the center; and while it's a fierce herd, there's a closeness about them that suggests they aren't out to harm anyone, just to go on their way. It's not easy to convey that, but I've seen how you convey those kinds of traits in such subtle arts as arrangement, hue, shadow, etc etc. The rest has your usual misty sky and grounds, with undulating hues & shadows. Luminous blues up there too. A sensitive, well felt vision, and as always expertly articulated. I'm glad your time with family was wonderful, Carol, and I wish you a wonderful New Year. Wonderful work once again: Powerful & loving at the same time...

My absolute favorite beasts - they are so wonderful. I can't get enough of elephants and my heart aches for their plight. Thank you for a wonderful work.
