‘Thick Skin’ - Original Painting

“Thick Skin” – Original Acrylic Painting

8x10” on canvas 

Part of my ongoing mini-series of animal portraits, Thick Skin is a heartfelt tribute to one of my favorite creatures—the elephant. Inspired by a striking photograph by Jason Vernon, this piece captures the quiet strength, wisdom, and resilience that elephants so beautifully embody.

Created with acrylic on canvas, the painting’s texture and depth bring out the unique details of the elephant’s features, from its weathered skin to its soulful presence. At 8x10 inches, it’s a versatile size—perfect for adding a touch of nature, character, and warmth to any space.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind painting, making it a special addition for collectors and animal lovers alike.
