A mandatory duck in pastels I did a few weeks ago. I'm really pleased with my progress in pastels. Practice practice practice.

I fell in love and just had to paint them... Soft pastels on Pastelmat, 50x40 cm. Painted en plein air, finished at home. #softpastels #art #pastellist #singapore #originalart #landscape #traditionalart #softpastellandscape #dreamy

Portrait of an African Savanna Elephant by me. This is a personal favorite animal. ❤️

They can live up to 60-70 years in the wild, have over 150,000 muscle units in their trunks alone and live in matriarchal families!
