Another Face from the Farm

Llama Babe

5" x 7" pen and ink

2008

My friend Gail lives in Texas and is surrounded by farms -- llama farms, horse farms, miniature donkey farms, even a buffalo farm -- and they're all having babies right now! I'm so jealous! Gail sent me a snapshot of this baby llama. I love his asymetrical nose. It reminds me of my self-portrait!

And here's my "Faces from the Farm" exhibit hanging in our living room. The sculpture below was welded by one of Tom's students at Maine Maritime Academy. Her friend's father had died in a car crash and she made the sculpture in memory of him. She called it "Sorrow."
