Diva oil over casein on birch panel 6-1/2 x 9 $250
Last summer when Gavin was here we went to the nearby alpaca farm to take photographs. When I downloaded the pictures I was delighted to see this animal looking so self satisfied. Alpacas really are adorable anyway and I thought the expression on this one was priceless. Right now the painting is in the local post office where I have a show every year or so. I used casein in the early stages of the painting. It lends itself to detail but I like to finish with oil glazes for extra depth.
