His name is Henry and he's based on this print. I didn't start out painting him, I wanted something more ethereal, and pretty, and featuring an umbrella, but Henry is what appeared.
The canvas looked so awful in the middle of painting it that after a few hours of dread and panic I gave up, and decided all I could do was embrace the chaos and hope for the best. Or the not quite as bad. It was after that Henry made his presence known, lord bless him.
You're all welcome to come around and sit in my lounge and not talk about my elephant. Any time you like.
*Dedicated to KT, because I am a dick and she is not.
