On one very hot day in Samburu we saw a large herd of elephants playing in the river. They were cooling off and stayed for a very long time splashing and rolling and spraying themselves. Elephants really know how to play in the water. They were on their way to the forest on the other side of the river but clearly were not in any hurry to get there. When I decided to do a painting of this scene I wanted to convey the energy and heat I felt from watching them that day. So I played with the watercolor and what happened was a diversion from my usual detailed style. I hope you feel the playful mood of the elephants as they crossed the river. |
