Show Time

The Vet School at LSU sponsors a juried art

show every year: "Animals in Art". I have

entered several times in the past. I had

these two colored pencils on hand, so I am

entering them in this year's show. Maybe

that enchanting monkey will charm the

judge, and the gator is such a "Louisiana"

subject, they will want to include him! I

will keep my fingers crossed.

I took the photograph of the orangutan at

the Memphis zoo. There are only a few

zoos that have them. He had such a noble,

distinguished expression, I just had to draw

him. I photographed the gator at the alligator

farm in Natchitoches, where they keep dozens

of them, and do daily shows for the tourists, etc.

lots of fun....
