Copper Elephant on the Move<\/p><\/div>\n

Curiouser and curiouser; this magic that copper produces when Mike puts his hand to it. He’s always telling me that my glass “mistakes”<\/em> are not mistakes, but opportunities.<\/p>\n

Copper Elephant Abstract from the back side<\/h2>\n

This was an art piece that began on the other side. That’s right . . . this is the\u00a0back\u00a0<\/em>side-\u00a0<\/em>the unintentional beautiful side of an otherwise noncohesive attempt to blend\u00a0finishes. It didn’t turn out how he had planned, so Mike\u00a0turned it over, and this extraordinary image was revealed. With a skillful hand he finished the piece and turned it into this mesmerizing image; part of a collection of artwork sent recently, to Sacramento, California. You can read more about the commission here<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elephant Image<\/p><\/div>\n

I can feel\u00a0the texture of the hide, smell the dust as he thunders across the desert, or imagine him slipping quietly into the rainforest. He almost looks like a prehistoric painting on an ancient stone wall somewhere in a cave in Africa.<\/p>\n

Can you see him? Do you imagine a different image? Do you love to stare at clouds too, and ponder the reveals?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
