"Kawn" 10" x 8" Watercolor Meet Kawn, a baby llama who recently visited the Fort Worth Stock Show from Florissant, Colorado. As Shirley Jinkins noted in her Star-Telegram article, "They're serene but quirky, puffy and furry, and they hum when they greet their friends." I discovered for myself how friendly llamas can be on one of my Stock Show visits a few weeks ago. My only previous llama experience occurred when I was a kid, and that particular animal spit on me (my fault, no doubt). With that in mind, I approached Kawn with caution, asking his owner, "Is he friendly?" Without a word to me, the man turned to Kawn and said, "Kawn, give this man a kiss." At which point I received my first llama smooch. |

The minute I saw the llama I immediately thought of how one spit on you...is a kiss any better? :)
ReplyDeleteI really love your watercolors!
If it gave you a kiss then didn't it just spit on you in a more affectionate manner?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a student I had, back when big hair was in. Llamas always seem to have an indignant look, but I'm sure he would be pleased with his portrait.
