A to Z Challenge
For today, "I" is for iguana. I've never really wanted to run into these creatures that thrive in a different climate from where I live in Virginia. I considered doing an iris painting for this letter because I'm quite familiar with that subject. Instead I created a real challenge for myself.This little painting is 8" x 10" acrylic on stretched canvas. I find I prefer to work on a larger canvas, but that takes more time and painting supplies. For now, I am using materials I already have in my studio. When I run out of canvases, I will go to my watercolor paper supply.
This is a fun challenge. Thanks to all of you who organized it!
What a cutie! Good for you for doing an iguana instead of an iris! :)

Thanks, Julie!
ReplyDeleteGlad you visited, Paula. Enjoy seeing color with the "u".
When I go to Roatan, Honduras next week I am going to visit an iguana preserve. Maybe you can paint one of my photos when I get back? After you rest from the A-Z work that is :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great medium for you (acrylic on canvas).

A Costa Rican iguana kept my husband and me company at lunch once. It stood very still, glaring at us as if to say, "Throw me a morsel, already, why doncha!"
ReplyDeleteGorgeous painting--I like your color choices.

You're a fabulous painter!
ReplyDeleteLove the iguana...when I was in Puerta Vallarta in Feb, iguana art was plentiful, since that is where the movie "Night of the Iguana" was filmed.
ReplyDeleteI love this little guy!
Ahhhh. Isn't he cute?
