Derek's Room

In this detailed painting it reminds me of the biblical scene and story of Norah's Ark. If you look closey you will see two of every animal in the picture. There are two lions, giraffes rhinos, elephants, monkeys and even two white doves. In the bible Norah's Ark is depicted of having two of every animal.

The men in the picture are depicted in a way that make them look rich and like egyptains. I'm thinking that they are gathering the animals because one of the men has a rope around an elephant's tusk as if herding it.

The picture also is filled out entirely, so there is no real center focus. it seems to have water color background ( the bluish light purple sky) and arcrlic painting. I'm guessing it's arcrilic due to the bright shadings and temperant of the picture.
