I love looking at camels. They have such expressive faces, and some can get quite silly, as the light colored one on the left of the picture shows. And while I am not usually terribly interested in portrait painting, I thought that it might be an interesting twist to paint portraits of camels.


So this is my first attempt at painting a camel portrait. I think I'll call her Zelda. Oil on canvas. She still needs work, but it has been fun painting her goofy expression, and I think I'll make it a point to take more camel pictures for future projects.
