I moved this summer and so I forgot completely about this blog! I now live in hunt country and LOVE IT! I do miss the mountains and my pet deer but with all to do and see here it is worth it. Once settled into my new studio I've picked up the pace quite a bit. There are so many paintings to post. I did a portrait of a friend and this painting brought me around a corner I was hovering over. Confidence is stronger. But on to what I am posting. The alpaca paintings. They made a big impact as well lately. I've been working with the same palette for the last month and really finding how much depth there is in it.
Alpacas have so much expression in their faces as well as in real life. Cute and sweet then spitting nasty stinky green stuff if you look at them wrong. Hilarious! I've set out to paint them since they allow my color and brush stroke with such ease. They make great loose paintings for warm up or fun. This one is 24" x 36".
