This is the second painting I have completed of a beautiful giraffe at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. I loved the shadow falling on his neck.

 We are fortunate to live about an hour from this wonderful zoo.  It is on a 2,200 acre tract of land in the Uwharrie Mountains and is one of the largest natural habitat zoos in the U.S.

(The background of this is much greener that it appears in the photo)

This is what I have been working on today. I think it may be finished so I am going to keep it in my studio for the next few days to see if there is any tweaking I want to do. I am very happy with this painting which was done from a photo that I took at the North Carolina Zoo a few weeks ago. Several giraffes were within close range for photographing so I took some good pictures.
