Liraffe

Mariajuanita Guzman

This is a portrait of a very dear friend of mine. She was at the zoo and took a picture with the giraffe ears. She loves giraffes. We have this ongoing joke where we merge two words together to make one word- Liz + giraffe = Liraffe. This is how I came up with the name for this painting.
