Update on the Elephant Parade:

There have been several great developments in the Elephant Parade since this last posted almost 7 weeks ago. It is hard to believe so much has happened! 

The biggest news is I have been to London on my first of three trips, and have completed the painting portion of the Elephant! I spent 7 days of painting which made up over 70 hours of painting. I can honestly say this is one of the greatest challenges I have experienced in my Art work, and going for the cause it is worth every minute of work!

The next two trips are in May and July,2010. In May, the Premiere will take place in London, which will be the start of the Exhibit of the Elephant Parade featuring over 200 painted and designed elephants! The conclusion of the exhibit in July, will be an Auction through Sotheby’s Auction House. This important step in the Exhibit is where the fundraising takes place!  The specific dates will be posted as they are set and details will also be provided, as they develop!
