I composed the painting 'Giraffes, We Three' from reference photos I took during a visit to Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. The baby and several female giraffes were waiting to be fed hay by the zoo keepers. Sunlight streaming in from the windows in the Giraffe House illuminated the giraffes. I decided to keep the background simple by using a triad color combination. The rust playing against the teal blue also created a dramatic backdrop for the giraffes.
'Giraffes, We Three' is painted on a 6" x 12" x 3/4" wrap around stretched canvas. The sides are painted as shown. It comes ready to hang, using framing wire and eye screws, just hang on the wall and enjoy!
