Inspired and deeply touched by the work of Patricia Sims and Michael Clark, Filmmakers of “Return to the Forest” depicting the reintroduction of bringing the Elephants of Thailand back to the wild, I felt a need to create this painting …
A Dream For The Queen
The acrylic on vellum painting measures 8” x 8” and is priced at $175.00.
Proceeds will be donated to the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation
in celebration of “World Elephant Day”, August 12, 2012.

Janet, thank you very much for your contribution! I am so pleased that “A Dream for the Queen” has found a new home. It is a magical painting, and your support of our elephant conservation work through your art is very generous and inspirational.
Thank you Patricia, it was my pleasure. I so enjoyed painting it and so glad it found a wonderful home. I truly appreciate all your hard work for elephant conservation.
Hey Dixie, thanks so much for the support! It’s for a good cause 🙂
Hi Janet, This is a lovely painting. Love the related colour scheme. I’m sure someone will give it a new home.
Patricia I am so glad to be a small part of your efforts to help the elephants. How amazing your work is to participate in such a wonderful cause and be the Director of Return of the Forest. I saw a small clip of the movie and found it to be moving and touching.. I can’t wait to see it. Thank you for your support.
Marco, so glad you liked it. You know how difficult it is to find an Elephant in Morgan Hill to paint let alone photo 🙂
Dear Janet,
Thank you ever so much for your inspirational painting and your support of our film and elephant conservation work. We hope you enjoy the premiere of the Return to the Forest film on August 12, World Elephant Day!
Sincerely,
Patricia
