As most of you know, I don’t share my personal life online. However, I will have to say, without a doubt: last week sucked. But just as I found myself knee deep in sorrow and anger, I received notice that I had been awarded ARTIST OF THE WEEK on Fineartamarica. This glimpse of a rainbow amid such dark clouds made me realize that taken in small bites, la vita can still be bella.

Purple elephants love pink daises. How do I know? I just do. Are there such things as purple elephants and pink daises? In my world, yes there are.

Elephants represent strength and good fortune. These gentle giants symbolize health and happiness, and they are thought to promote spiritual well-being. Elephants are strong, nurturing, loyal, protective to their family, and over-all just plain super cool.

Of course, this purple elephant will never hang in the Uffizi. He was fun to paint and only meant to bring a smile and spread a little joy.

The original is an 8”x10” acrylic on wrapped canvas.
