Artist's Comments

This dramatic painting was named The Patriarch
at the 2007 Asia Painting Competition; themed Expressive Key but didn't win the nominated prize.

I find myself easily lost in the landscape of the elephant skin. In this composition, I chose not to show the entire elephant thus creating the bull larger than life, as well as lending importance to the cattle egrets.

I found this old bull in China Wildlife Reserve Park as he came to watering hole to drink. His body language clearly told me he did not want to share!

The Patriarch is now available in Chinese Fine Art Gallery which main focus was a wildlife paintings.

The original size is about 19 x 27 inches, acrylic on linen, well this is just a private photo of my actual canvas painting.

Hope You'll gonna like it, because I don't have enough skills to paint elephant. :(

Thanks for viewing, Always Best Regards and God Bless You All and Save The Elephants from Damn Tusks hunters by donating to Wildlife Reservation Parks!

The texture of this guy's skin is fantastic! I think your choice of framing was very good as well. Cropping the image like that makes the elephant seem huge! The graceful egrets provide a lovely contrast to the powerful elephant. :)

I'm sorry to tell you this sir, you've been wrong to place the patriarch painting: it should be in traditional section on your collection, it is not a digital art =D

But it's all up to you, I really appreciate your comment and also for the fave.
Thank you for stopping by. ^^

:eyepopping: Incredible painting! I can see why it's in the Fine Art Museum! I can feel the lack of tolerance in this old bull and he's saying so clearly, "Don't mess with me!". I get the feeling he is bluff charging. I'm just blown away Tou! :faint:
