"Ostrich Eggs" happily laid at 3RR, uniquely crafted
DescriptionI wanted to pay homage to a few of the animals that touched my life during my time working at Three Ring Ranch, including the famous and unique Zoe. I was inspired to paint these animals in their natural habitat, and during my time working on this, I fell in love with the variety of colors and textures that I was able to utilize to capture the essence of the scenery.
