When I would be painted so wonderful by you I too would smile ... :)

Tracy, this is so beautiful.
How did you get the idea to do such a glowing background - it works perfect.
Absolutely beautiful.

I agree with Doris the background really sets your little goat off! Beautiful!

Hard to believe these are really water colors. You must have been painting for a many years. It shows! Thanks for sharing some lovely works!

Thanks so much for your comments everyone.

I had to keep this one simple, Doris, so opted for a more interesting background that would hopefully bring out the rich colours in the goat without being complicated. And glow a bit :)

Tracy, another great mini, you really excell in them. I can't even get in front of my easel lately, you are putting me to shame. :-) Keep up the wonderful work.

Thanks Judy. I appear to be chained to mine. But you've been painting other things anyway!

I love the fur detail Tracy! you've captured the form of the goat and the 'glow', I especially love the color on the jaw bone matching the color of the background. Also the turn of the ear on the right, great.

I had a Nubian goat..she was quite a character, well I think all goats are characters! haha...great job!
