I painted a series of 5 different animal fur skins so far and I have an idea for a few others I may do or even variations of these. But for now, this is the furry series.

How do you get a life-sized close-up picture of a giraffe in a 10 x 10 inch canvas? See below.

The Giraffe

From Wikipedia

"The coat has dark blotches or patches (which can be orange, chestnut, brown, or nearly black in color) separated by light hair (usually white or cream in color.) Male giraffes become darker as they age. The coat pattern has been claimed to serve as camouflage in the light and shade patterns of savannah woodlands. When standing among trees and bushes, they are hard to see at even a few meters distance. However, adult giraffes move about to gain the best view of an approaching predator, relying on their size and ability to defend themselves rather than on camouflage, which may be more important for calves. Each individual giraffe has a unique coat pattern. Giraffe calves inherit some coat pattern traits from their mothers, and variation in some spot traits are correlated with neonatal survival. The skin underneath the blotches may serve as windows for thermoregulation, being sites for complex blood vessel systems and large sweat glands."

Quotes

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things." Pablo Picasso

I totally disagree with Picasso. God created perfection and man in His own image. Just as every man and woman is beautifully different, giraffes, elephants and cats (and every other animal) is magnificently majestic, creatively made and distinctly interesting. Creation shows the limitless imagination of our Creator.

Sin by choice ruins perfection until God restores it one day soon by His Son Jesus Christ.
