As you can see, I flattered the llama a little in my painting by not including that unseemly bald spot at the top of his left leg. That's where Piper knocked him into hot candle wax and I had to trim off the matted hair.

Llama Drama Painting
I painted Piper's favorite victim for my still life this week in class. I used a palette knife to apply the fur, and a brush for some fine tuning. If I had it to do over again I would do a darker background and spend more time on the table top and face. I completed this one in about two hours. It measures 16x20. Those little specks on the surface are dirt from the ECC parking lot. Half way to my car I dropped the painting face down on the ground...oh well!

SWEET! I have been waiting for "Piper's Llama Drama" to show up on your Blog!
I love llamas! I just saw a boat load of them right next to the Promisland parking at church, CRAZY! I'm pretty sure that land belongs to someone else and not the church though. I just thought it was cool that we get the benefit of seeing them though. Anyhoo, really great painting Kim!
Oh and your blog is loading right now.
Hi Crystal. I think I saw a sign once calling it the Willow Creek Alpaca Farm! No kidding! It isn't affiliated with the church but I guess the owners were following the Barrington area tradition of naming themselves after their neighbors (South Barrington, North Barrington, Barrington Hills, Barrington Lakes, etc!)
Sorry I didn't see you at church today :( Steph had a long week so we didn't stick around after promiseland. Hopefully the three of us can go hang out soon.
Hey! I don't know you but your llama drawing is hot! I have the privilege of having a cousin that lives on a farm, she owns a llama!!
