Sunday Sketches - Elephant

This week's Sunday Sketches is of a 'Drowned Elephant Calf' claimed by recent floods in Sri Lanka. The startling photo caught my attention in the newspaper.

Please stop by the other participants to see what they did this week!

Winterlicious 2011 (runs Jan 28 - Feb 10 this year)

'Every winter over a hundred fine dining restaurants in Toronto offer prix fixe (fixed price) lunch and dinner menus as part of "Winterlicious", which also includes special culinary-themed events. If you want in on the Winterlicious Prix-Fixe promotion, reservations are highly recommended and easy to make'

I've never attended one of these, but I've been hearing about it for years, it's a popular promotion.

Your artwork is very well done, it is so sad though. There have been just too many natural disasters around the world in the last year.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I didn't intend to make everyone sad, it was just a gripping kind of photo, a part of life I guess.

I think it is a wonderful idea to sketch current events - will try that with my children! Thx for the great idea.
