  2. You leave me without breath. My goodness, Ces, this is stunning! All the highlights and shadow, the undulating depth of greys. Amazing and just as beautiful as a live herd. I think they are all queueing up for a Ces art exhibition. Strike that. They are stampeding to a Ces art exhibition! Tsup!

    1. You are welcome and thank you. I can't remember how I got there but it had something to do with my search for Pepe and Pilar. :)

  7. Ces, I'm loving these animal pieces, and this elephant herd is amazing. And I adore seeing the step-by-step...did you just add elephants on a whim or was there a master plan from the start?

    1. Thank you Sarah. This one had a sort of master plan as I based it on a couple of photographs. I moved the elephants around and I also changed some of their poses. I also added more baby babies. The other elephants in this series were most out of whim and to correct mistakes when I lose track of the leg positions. I add an elephant to cover mistakes. Ssshh...that's a scret. :)
