2011. Oil and charcoal on canvas.

I’ve loved elephants for a long time. I think they may have been my first favorite animal…at least that i can remember. I think it’s because their eyes are so expressive. Also, I’ve always believed they could play their trunks like trumpets! Last summer in Tucson, Evelynn and I wrote a play together and the characters talked about a dream one had (based on a real dream i had) where all the elephants in the world disappeared. How sad, huh?
