Lucy and the Elephant

June 6th, 2008

I did some drawing last night, one of them resulted in "Lucy and the Elephant" above which was done with ink and acrylic on paper. He looks like such a friendly elephant, no? He makes me smile.

Oh, this gloomy weather is making me sleepy. Yawn! This weekend we're in for a major switcheroo in New England, going from the 60's to the 90's in one day. Woohoo! I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!!

Love it. Reminds me a bit of that wonderful book Water for Elephants and how smart elephants are.

Hi Leah,

I love Lucy ! I love Lucy’s hairdo ! She looks so soft and feminine. Her pal the elephant is beautiful too.
Here’s hoping the heat wave comes with mucho sunshine ! The rain has been giving me the blues this week !
Cheers,
Kim

Did you know that there is a giant elephant house in New Jersey that is named Lucy? Here’s her website

I love the bubbles and swirls on your Lucy. It seems like this an illustration to a story and I want to know how they met and where they’re going next.

I also love lucy’s hairdo, and her dress and scarf is perfect. They look like they are on their way together to somewhere quite fabulous

Lucy is very pretty…now, what is the elephant’s name?

i do love this…he looks like he’s either proposing to her, or asking her to dance. It’s very sweet! And your talent as an artist…I just love it, Leah!
