Amazing Elephants

I was astonished when I followed this link this morning:
Elephants Painting

I hope I learn more behind the story of these artistic elephants. I would never have believed an elephant could paint a self portrait - and do it so well.

Thanks to Marlon Ignacio at Digital Image Cafe for the link.

A Special Treat for your eyes

I started reading Julie Zickefoose's blog after last year's Festival of the Cranes at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. She is a talented artist, a musician, and a great speaker. I find her blog interesting because we get a glimpse of her family life, wonderful birds and plants, and sometimes her art. This week she ran a series on a painting that she just did. This series is worth reading and enjoying for several reasons. For one thing, you get to see how a beautiful water color painting is done. For another, the birds she painted are beautiful.

So, go on over . . . enjoy the story behind that beautiful painting.
