What a lovely scene of mom and the baby. The palette knife work is very apparent and I love the effect. It gives depth and texture for the work. The overall blue tones from top to bottom give this scene a hazy warm feeling. The distance mountains barely visible also add DOF that gives the overall scene a slight 3D look. Love the artwork.

I just love this Suzanne. The muted palate here is so pleasing.
Showing a mom and baby is a very pleasant view for all. Love the soft glisten of a herd in the background. Wonderful techniques here.

This is just adorable. It is so realistic and you almost feel like the love between them is real. Everything about them is just amazing and life-like. So well done!

I shouldn't say this...but the art here seems to be better than the photography. Your mixed oil really proves my point. So nicely done,capturing a real view of the elephant. Nice muted colors with strong composition and detail. Well done.

Awe I think they are very sweet. Elephants have such a love for their young. They are extremely good mothers and aunts. Love your color tones. Good reflection in the water. Nice composition. Very enjoyable.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Suzanne,
A wonderful picture of the motherelephant leading her calf to the water hole making sure it stays close, while in the distance the "Aunts" are bringing up the rear. Your painting of water is brilliant showing it's transparency & the reflections on it's surface. The misty mountains with sunlight playing on them makes the perfect backdrop. Created with skill superb brush & palette-knife work, artistic choice blending & application of the colours to create this beautiful life like image.
Susan

beautiful scene. love the detail of the elephants and they're reflections in the water. you faded the ones in the background perfect. maybe it would've looked different on canvas, but i'm not sure it would've been better

This is a great piece, very heart felt. I love the soft color tones yet the mother and calf are so prominent and detailed. Great work

A very well done work even on the acrylic paper. Your colors and reflections are excellent, and it is such a nice composition in the frame. Has a very nice feeling to it, and love the little baby right next to the mother. Good depth and distance. Good work!

Beautiful painting. I think the texture was brought out by using the palette knife on the acrylic paper. The light and shadow are perfect and I love the other elephants muted in the distance. Great job. Jan
