For Joel

 I really love the whimsical, can you tell?  

After I painted the last elephant, my friend Joel messaged me and hinted BROADLY that he loved elephants.  I asked what kind of an elephant he wanted and he said, "surprise me!"

DON'T tell me you want me to surprise you unless you mean it!  *ha!  

This is still using the white paint from the Castle student paint series.  It had pretty good results!  I gifted this to Joel, but something I really love about him is that he fusses at me for knowing my own value and paid me for it anyway.

Everybody needs a good friend who fusses at them until they recognize their own value.
