Elephants and Spiders
I have been away for a while, but you have to know it has been a very good reason! I now have a wonderful new grandson named Benjamin. His mom (daughter Rosa) asked me to paint a mural for his bedroom - which we elected to do on a canvas instead of on the wall -- so that it can be removed when he grows and wants 'bigger' things. So, although I have been away in Oregon with Benjamin, I have been working on this mural as well.
The theme was to be that of the Mexican nursery rhyme counting song about elephants walking on spider webs. It is kind of cute, as one elephant right after the other goes up on a spider web. As they see that it holds up, they call in another elephant. So here is the finished product - painted on canvas -- soon we will get it hung up on the wall.
If you want to know one verse of the song it is:
Sobre la tela de una arrana
Quando veia que resistia
Fueron a llamarle a otro elefante
(then it goes on to Two elephants...)
I have had so many positive responses about
the mural I painted for my grandson, I thought
I ought to mention that I can have prints made
for most any size fairly inexpensively. You
may EMAIL
ME if
you are interested.
