Africal elephans (oil canvas) / Afrički slonovi (ulje na platnu)


oil for canves, not for sale/ ulje na platnu, nije na prodaju

This painting is a gift for someone. I thought I had finally finished it on NYE, but now I'm not so sure....maybe it needs a bit more work?

Ovo platno je dar za nekoga. Mislila sam da sam ga konačno završila na novogodišnju noć, ali sada nisam sigurna...možda  ipak treba još malo dotjerivanja?

  1. We think it looks amazing the way it is! :) Just love the elephants, too cute :) Another job well done :D

  2. i think this painting is already great Ivana! But if you really want to enhance it, perhaps you can add more details? But I really think this is very nice already. :) Anyway, in rely to your comment in my last post:

    awwww. you're the sweetest Ivana! Thank you for this comment. I really do appreciate your words. I will always keep this in my mind and heart. Well, we do no really control our life/time and it's just so sad that I only had 19 years to spend with my cousin. Everything will be different from now on and it will take a while before everyone in our family finally accepts that he's gone physically. We just miss him so much. But the memories and the love he had showed us will forever be in our hearts. Let's never forget our loved ones who had left us too soon. Thanks again Ivana and I wish you all the best this 2015. Continue sharing your art to the world! Happy New Year and God bless! :)

      Yes, things will probably never be the same, yet we must always be grateful for the time with had with the loved ones and give them homage by trying to live a good and fulfilled life.

      Thank you for your sweet comment!

  15. Did you draw it all yourself? It's very good!!! I think the picture is great, but it would look better on a wall, the tablecloth in the background makes it looks like it's too colourful when I am sure it's not.. Happy New Year, Ivana!!!

  35. Dear Ivana, what a wonderful gift! I can imagine that the person who will get it will be absolutely happy about your impressing art! And for me it looks finished but I don't have they eye of a realy artist like you :) It was such a pleasure for me to read that you had a good and optimistic feeling on the first day of this New Year. Hopefully you feel still in that way <3 For sure I wish you still the best for the New Year and that all the issues in your life will be solved very soon.

  38. Hello Ivana, the painting looks complete to me and I wouldn't have known which oart was incomplete if you hadn't mentioned that it was incomplete. It is nice to gift someone a handmade gift coz that takes time and effort and is definitely very valuable. Thank you for your long comments and sharing with me more about food culture in your region. I've not been visiting blogs for so long that I feel like I'm missing out on a lot. I will be catching up on your posts now.

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.
