Friends of UW Hospital and Clinics and the Henry Vilas Zoological Society are partnering to present Art Zoobilee, a public art display and auction event to be held at Henry Vilas Zoo.

The art display will consist of life-size and small fiberglass zoo animal sculptures painted or decorated by local artists. The animals will be displayed throughout the zoo from June through August of 2010.

The art will be sold at a live and silent auction event on October 22, 2010 at the Madison Marriott West. Proceeds from the event will be split evenly to benefit American Family Children's Hospital and Henry Vilas Zoological Society.

I will be painting a life-size Nubian goat. I have named her "Flora". I'll be painting her to look like stone with vining flowers growing all over her. New photos will be posted as the painting progresses. Enjoy!
Here are a couple photos of her as she arrived, a blank, goat shaped canvas.
