Gosh! I remember the Rhino and the Lion and now the elephant has joined up ! All three are so beautiful * __ * You know, when I look at your artworks, I feel as if I can sense the animal spirits from your portraits, there is something that you captured through your relationship with nature and the wilderness that are translated into these pieces, I think, Jan....

For example, I think, I've told you that I felt nobility from the Rhino, a kind of usually unseen majesty, which is often unseen from this animal that unfortunately most people associate with trophy hunting prizes :( But through your portrait, I feel the Rhino's noble spirit !

The lion looks thoughtful, and I remember you were feeling a bit low when you drew this and that the lion helped your spirits recover. I can sense quiet strength from this portrait of the king of the jungle, for sure...

And the elephant ! I feel there is a striding energy here, a kind of motion towards the future :) Maybe I'm reading too much as I look at each of your works? Hahahaha~

They are very beautiful, Jan. I love these :)
