Camel Donning a Wreath -  Why Not?

Painting this wreath was the November challenge over at Paint My Photo.  I had a great time jazzing this camel up for the holidays.  The wreath photo was contributed by Donna Sommer.

About Louis Brandeis

American judge Louis Brandeis was the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice, and one of the most influential Justices in the history of the Court. He was born in Kentucky in 1856 to Czech-born parents. He graduated from high school at age 14 and later became head of his class at Harvard Law School. As a Justice, many of his decisions created greater protections for individual rights of privacy and free speech. He died in 1941. Brandeis University was named in his honor.

Sneak Peek 1 – Acrylic on Canvas

I am working on a 24″ x 48″ painting.  It’s acrylic on canvas and was requested by my hubby for a specific room in our house.  I am having so much fun with it.  I didn’t want to share it in it’s “work in progress” stage, so I am going to just share little snippets.  Keep in mind that what you are looking at is only the first layer and a tiny piece of the composition.  Many more layers and color will be added.   Tune in for more pieces to the puzzle.   Fun, fun, fun!!!
