The rhinoceros is so endearingly ugly. I like these lines
about a rhinoceros by the poet Edward
Hirsch:You lumber around in your skin of armor
Like an exiled general or a grounded unicorn. Usually I like to paint on an untoned (white) surface, but this time I began by drawing with a thin red wash. I worked hard here to define the big shapes without dithering around with the hundreds of creases and wrinkles.
