I've been working for a long while now, on and off, on six commissions for a woman VERY active in rescue.
I love to paint personalities of cats and dogs, so I am happy to paint the two cats and two dogs. But, she's given me the opportunity to paint goats and horses too!
It's been so fun, especially to paint the goats, because their eyes, with a square pupil, make them look alien, so it's been challenging to make them friendly and cute, too.
I was even more inspired to paint them after seeing my friends Michael and Lorrainna's goats. Their girls are full of personality and very eager to get attention -- especially if you have a treat in your hands. In addition to their weird eyes, their cloven feet are weird too. Not quite a hoof, not quite fingers, they add to the alienness of the species.

oh that is so cute! you captured the personality of a goat! Nice job Seana!
you caught the spirit of the goat, frisky and bright...
You are so kind! It was great fun to do.....
He was exactly that. Frisky and bright. He is very missed on our farm but we all love his painting living on our wall to remember him by. Thank you Seanna.
