# 142 Alpaca Breeder


Alpacas are gentle creatures that make a soft sheep-like sound when approached. Their fur is prized for it's extremely soft yarn and natural colors. They are originally from ancient Peru and are adapted well to the high altitude around here. JLC

Hi Mick, I appreciate your interest in my paintings, and I am pleased they are inspiring your work. It is unfortunate for me that I have nowhere to sell my pieces other than the web. They just stack up here for now, until I become famous; ha ha! JLC
