Recent painting of a local alpaca. I wanted to capture the unique quality and character of these creatures expressively and freely. I used my texture more extensively in this piece which added interest but also frustration. I also tried to incorporate similar colors from my landscape to connect the animal to its land. My next painting is from a model and I think I will take a break from grassy textures.
farm animals what a great idea for series look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteHave you done any painting with the grasses that are ambient or abstract this could be interesting. Like a Rothko but with texture......
You really seem to capture the "spirit" of the beast! Great job. love dad
