Here's our second cashmere goat that I've painted. I think she's a beautiful animal, and I really enjoyed painting her -- especially that foreshortened ear above her eye! That was fun! Hope you like her. I've forgotten her name, so I'll add it later.
Due to a lack of interest currently in my goat paintings, I'm going to hold off painting the other, grey, adult goat and get on to some other paintings that I've been getting requests for.
The next one I'll be doing is a painting of a Holstein cow (I'll have to go search for one around here because I don't think there's one in the field across the road) lying in front of the beautiful old barn across the road. Obviously, I'll have to combine the two of them onto one canvas, which is always a bit difficult for me because I have to get the perspective done perfectly, or it doesn't work. We'll see . . . .
I used to sculpt for a living. Now, I still sculpt, but I'm mostly retired. I talk about being old, still working part-time, life, gardens, dreams, wishes, regrets, etc.

As Promised, Here's the first of the Cashmere Goat Paintings
Here's "Snowflake." My granddaughter very aptly named her, I think. And she's adorable, too, along with the other three: another white baby, a tan-and-brown one, and a light grey one.
The original acrylic painting is on a 16x20x1/2" stretched canvas, already wired on the back so ready for hanging.
Either the grey or the brown goat will be the next to be painted. Also, I've come across a beautiful, beautiful Jersey cow, with those enormous, gorgeous eyes, in a field nearby, so I'll be doing a painting of her, too, very soon.
I'm settling in to our new country place, and it feels great to be back painting again.
