Here's To Friends


I did this charcoal drawing for my friend, Carrol Green. She loves giraffes. At first I did a watercolor painting of these giraffes making the spots different colors and allowing the colors to drip down the paper. I called it "Giraffes of a Different Color". It was a fun painting but on second thought I decided this drawing would be more subdued. They look handsome in a charcoal colored mat and black frame.

Well, ok, now I want to see the colorful one, too! This black and white version is very classy and beautifully done. The touch of grasses indicated loosely in the lower right corner really assist the composition (and gave you a great place to tuck your signature!) Lovely.

I think you should put the colorful one on too. I love it.
