Elephants again

Yesterday's art lesson was an elephant. It was actually a fun project, learning about wet on wet, shadow, etc.. His tusks are even, by the way, they just don't look it here.

It sure brought to mind the fact that when there is an elephant in the room it is difficult to focus on anything else.  All you can think about is the damage it could do and keeping everyone safe.  That elephant just takes over.  I guess the thing to do is put the elephant where it belongs.  You can't control the elephant when it is in the room, but you can put it in its proper place so you can see the other things you had been missingthat are in the room.
