Petting Zoo Continued
















There were more goats than any other kind of animal at the Petting Zoo. For some reason, that I choose not to analyze, I am intrigued by goats.

Several years ago I found a photo taken by Jay Hoffman of a group of goats. After getting his permission I used the photo as the basis for a mixed media piece I call “The Billy Family”. It is colored pencil drawing on cloth, machine embroidered, machine quilted, and machine appliquéd. Apparently I am the only one intrigued by goats because while it was often admired, it never sold.

I like “The Billy Family” and it is OK to have them living with me.
