"Van Goat"

12x12

acrylic on canvas

I have a friend who takes amazing pictures.  And she generously gave me permission to use her photos as references.  So I went into her Facebook feed and found this beauty.  The painting started off quite realistic, then I decided I wanted to try my hand at this colourful goat.  I am pretty sure it's a young mountain goat, that she took in Jasper Provincial Park, in Alberta Canada. 

I am thrilled with how it turned out. 

Thank you to Leslie-Anne Davidson for the photo.  

Thanks to Jill Love Clark for the name.
