GOAT - 3/26/10

"What's with the colors that don't match?" After I added a coat of tan, I added a speckling of red, green and yellow. These are not the dominant color of the goat. In fact, most of those three colors will be covered or patially covered by the time it's done. The purpose is to have little flecks of the color visible, but not noticed. Having these "extra" colors added in will contribute to the overall vibrancy of the piece, without being directly noticable. I have been using a sponge to apply the paint and using acrylic paint thinned with acrylic gel medium and a bit of water.

Here is the first coat of paint on the goat. I will continue layering paint on to create a stone-like finish.

GOT MY GOAT

3/6/2010 4:37:07 PM

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.
