ELITE SPECIAL FEATURE IN ART DISTRICT 10/5/2022
This image took me a while. This was a close up from a photograph from our zoo, and because of children not going to school here physically because of the pandemic, I decided to do something fun and whimsical with this image with them in mind and also adults to have some fun as well. So this giraffe can read!! I used a mixture of different painting software to paint this image, corel, topaz and/or photoshop using some of my favorite brushes and color tints, and added the reading glasses for fun on the giraffe. Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet. They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over longer distances. ... Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up; they even sleep and give birth standing up. The giraffe is an African artiodactyl mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. It is traditionally considered to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies Giraffa can run 35 mph, is 1800 lbs and 15-20 feet tall!!
