Artist's Play Room - WIP
So here's the funny story. I live in Beaufort, SC and this week in a backyard downtown (about 10 minutes away) a man looked down and saw a fairly large sized lizard next to him. We have plenty of lizards here, but they tend to be on the small side. Recognizing that this was a "foreigner" he and a couple of other folks chased and finally "gently" captured the lizard. That inspired this painting - which is far from complete. Thought I might finish yesterday but didn't happen. Apparently this lizard story is on the Internet if you want to check it out. By the way - it's a monitor (or savannah - as in Africa) lizard. Thanks for visiting. Check this link Artist's Play Room for more "backyard" art!

He looks like a hippie-lizard, great idea with the flowers! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI do like to paint "funky" animals - still not sure where I am going with the rest of his body and didn't want to pressure myself to finish. He (or she?) may look a bit different when done - but I think the flowers will stay. Thanks Valerie for stopping by!
DeleteI agree! LOVE the flowers - and metallic paint! Really great, looking forward to seeing her done ;) xo
ReplyDeleteHe has such personality! I can't wait to see him finished.
ReplyDeleteIf only the bloody big lizards that live at our place had flowers tatooed on them then maybe i would like them a bit more... we have this blue skink that harasses me while I am hanging out the washing... xx
ReplyDeleteWe have a big blue tongue lizard that lives with us, but unlike Trace, I love him to pieces. I feed him quite often but my parrot screams his head off when it is around.
ReplyDeleteYours is so cute with his flowers.
Von.
