Tree Top Grazer by Sylvia

This giraffe is my first attempt to paint any kind of animal. I like the way his coloring came out but I missed the mark on the fur. While he is grazing in the tree tops, his legs take on the appearance of the tree trunks and his spots help to camouflage him from predators. Anyway, hope you like it and thanks for looking. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I can always use the help.

Rosey Arbor by Sylvia

This Rose Arbor reminds me of a romantic garden, where everything seems perfect! This painting was one of my first endeavors. I really didn't enjoy working on it because I was so nervous and stiff.  Since then I have learned to relax some,enjoy and not worry about messing up. Thanks to my good friend, she has made me realize that any mistake is fixable ( as long as I catch it!) I got this pattern from an art book. I thought it was so pretty, but it turned out to be very hard for me to paint the roses;yet I learn something new every time I encounter a challenge. Hope you enjoy it, I'm just glad it's finished. Thanks for looking. If you have any comments, they are welcomed.
