AIRPLANE EARS - The Baby Goat That COULD.

AIRPLANE EARS - only 5" x 14", Acrylic Mixed Media

This little guy lives in Escalante, Utah, although now he's probably a full-sized trouble-maker. The other day while searching for a missing item, I came across an envelope I had sent from what was then Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to my parents in Laclede, Idaho. Colorful and exotic stamps all over it, the envelope was lined with text and patterns related to travel and passport stamps. 

It is a goldmine. I scanned the envelope and made color copies for use in artwork -- like little AIRPLANE EARS here. He's a study for a 12" x 24" painting.
