Khmer Elephant

Khmer Elephant (Oil on Wood Panel, 8" x 10")

In many parts of the world Elephants seem to flourish in paintings and sculptures in civilizations most sacred sites. When you observe the gentle interaction these beings have with humans, you can't help but feel the contrast of benevolence and the enormity of these animals. 

The image of elephants fascinated me on our recent trip to Cambodia and Laos. I savored every elephant image that I saw. Real life, sculptures, paintings and souvenirs were captured in my digital camera for me to continue to admire... and to paint!
