The Daily Paintings of Joanne Massingale: Baby Alpaca

Introducing the series Road Trip 2007

My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.

Baby Alpaca

This image is a commission and I had such a good time painting this little guy. The alpaca is such a lovely animal and I can understand why people fall in love with them. The Northwest Alpaca show will be held in Pasco, Wa. at the TRAC on April 26th and 27th of 2008 and to attend is to see beautiful animals, different breeds and different colors.
