Carol’s second foray into the Elephant and Macaw Banner universe is this fine painting of Gerard van Oost.

My female friends in particular seem to really enjoy Carol’s artwork. After seeing this image and her Oludara Painting (and wiping away a bit of drool), they tell me I should let Carol do *all* my artwork from now own. 🙂

Well, I still plan on seeing many other artists’ concepts of the Elephant and Macaw Banner in the future, but Carol will certainly be back!

As always, more of Carol’s work can be found here.

Leonardo Amora Leite recently revisited the painting “Arrival in Salvador” with some spectacular results.  This version is made to look like an old oil painting.  Scene elements and lighting have also been modified in several areas for effect.

Leonardo’s final version of the painting “Arrival in Salvador” is this one: a texture, line, and color scheme meant to resemble paintings from the time.

Here are a couple of examples:

“Le Baye de Tous les Saints” by Albert Dufourcq

“S. Salvador / Baya de Todos os Sanctos” by Claes Jansz Visscher and Hessel Gerritsz

Hope you enjoyed the paintings!
