An 11x14, Oil. I recently read a short story by Jodi Picoult entitled "Larger Than Life" . A touching description of a field scientist in Africa and her encounters with elephants. The story inspired me to do this painting. Fun to do.

1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
