31-34/100: zoo portraits

Portraits don't have to be confined to people. Brent and I went to the Albuquerque zoo a few weeks ago and I had a ball taking pictures of all the fun animals they had there. Then, an acquaintance asked me if I could teach her how to paint with watercolors. Now, watercolor has always intimidated me, but I looked at this as a chance to learn myself, and so I agreed to do it. I checked out some watercolor books from the library and did some practicing using the pictures I had taken at the zoo. I was amazed at how well they turned out! Once I started, I couldn't stop!
