Front, this year's goat skull. Rear, last year's.

It's actually the fifth skull I've painted. The other three are cow, elk, and horse.

As seen from above.

The second goat skull took much longer for several reasons. It was very grimy when found and the cleaning process took months. Parts of the bone were damaged, and it took me a while to figure out what to do with that. It's also a smaller pattern overall.

Side view left.

Also the teeth of this skull were nearly falling out. After removing small broken bits I ran a line of glue around the inside line of each row of teeth.

I want to attach a hanger to the new one and display them together.

Side view right.

As always I used ordinary acrylic craft paints. I finish with a clear matte spray coating.

And at the end, date and signature.

I really enjoyed this project and I'm a little sorry to see it end.

Thank you for looking at my work. It's much appreciated.
