Oil Paintings by Deborah Bertola

Caramella has lived at a large farm-like humane society property in Provence, the Southern part of France for 11 years. She is enormous. Her horns are larger than your arms can spread. I spent two days photographing her and have painted her many times. With her size, I was surprised that she liked to cuddle. She could easily knock someone over if she moved her head, but she manages to get very close so that you can caress her. She seems totally content.
