This is my gel pen and wash sketch of an African wood carving about four inches tall and six inches long. I love the way he is resting, nose to the ground, like a book end. He is sweet and charming and maybe a little shy. Not your average hippo.

Thanks, Barb!
Charming hippo. I identify, too. She’s reading her scale, right? Love, Carole
Hah! Too funny!
