Pretty Goat, Esther

Sometimes I have an idea then search for an image, but sometimes an image appears then gives me the idea.

My friend Healey likes to post pictures and videos of her goats.  They're always cute and funny.  Then one day I saw this pretty little goat looking right at me.  I found myself going back for another look then another.  Finally I messaged and asked permission to paint her.  Healey told me that her name was Esther and that I could paint her as long as didn't change her name.  

So... meet my lovely blue-eyed goat friend, Esther!

On another note... I've been having fun with this site  to discover the color theme of my paintings.

Baaaaa Humbug, Ebaaaaneezer Goat

I took this funny goat's photo at the county fair a few years ago... (I just checked the photo stats... It was August of 2014!!) and put it in my "Painting Possibilities" folder thinking that one day I'd paint this guy.

I guess it was finally time to put his handsome face on canvas.

My weekly painting challenge this time was "Baaa!"
