this is really nice. The image works really well. My eye is lead straight to the woman. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the elephants earrings, they look like an after thought and just stuck on. I would imagine the ear folding a bit under their weight. They also have a very hard edge in comparison to the elephant ears. I think it would work better if you made them a bit more "painterly" like the ears.

Hi!
@J: you`re absolutely right dude. The earrings were an after tought, but before posting I was already planning to wipe them off. Thanks for your comments man!!

Well, this is the final version without the earrings. Better I guess. Hope you agree.

I just have to ask - why call it "Mammoth" when itīs clearly an (african) elephant?

Definitely better without the earrings.

I see no mammoth :P

Great painting, overall. Really nice balance between texture and the deliberate obliteration of it via blending. Kudos.
