Gourmet Giraffe

11x15 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, drawn and painted today from one of my many zoo animal photos.  After painting a bunch of them yesterday I just wanted to continue on exploring the subject.  Painted wet in wet I used Daniel Smith paints.  This fellow is busy trying to discern which tree leaves are the most tasty so he is a true gourmet.
