Timbavati Elephant in Sepia
In Timbavati South Africa Marylou’s first encounter with this elephant was in the early morning with no shoes, a camera without a battery, and he took out the water pipe for her hut. It was an experience, and a good story but she was unable to capture it on camera. As luck would have it, later that same day Marylou was with a group exploring when they came across the same group of elephants. Three males, this one the largest. They stopped and he looked at her staying perfectly still, this time Marylou was able to snap a photo. This piece was done in more muted colors giving the painting an antique feel. The texture in this piece is far more pronounce and that gives the elephants skin and the brush behind him more depth and draws the focus.

Masai Mara Cub
This lion cub was photographed by Marylou is Masai Mara, Kenya. He was surrounded by a pride of three females and one male. During Marylou’s observation he was playful and easily distracted, like most children. The original photograph was taken in shadows, Marylou used Photoshop and Lightroom to manipulate the original photograph then applied layers of colored wax to give the photo texture and definition.
