"Angus, I'm really not sure this diet is doing you any good." "I know, it's making me constantly peckish!" I love alpacas and have been very lucky to have hand fed the two in the drawing. There is such a contrast between alpacas and emus. Alpacas are cute and emus have such an attitude! I created this artwork for a Funny Friday series of drawings. I developed a humorous image every week for a month. It wasn't easy. However, it was a really useful exercise as it generated a few new pieces. -
The original sketch Nico Polo was completed for a Funny Friday series of drawings to go on social media. This artwork was painted as an entry into the Harley Gallery Artist Open Exhibition, displaying work at this gallery was an ambition I had harboured for a while.
Nico was such a personality at Longleat Safari Park and was a great source of photos showing real character. This painting is a tribute to him.
