This painting is acrylic on wood, 6 x 12".

About the piece:  I have been wanting to make this piece for a while, ever since I saw this Veiled Chameleon in a pet store that had been rejected, for being the wrong type of Veiled Chameleon. He was also described as being neurotic, which I thought was a hilarious personality description for a lizard. As I tried to get a good look at him from behind the branch he clung to, he kept ducking his head behind the branch, which was never going to effectively conceal his presence. We did the head ducking dance for a while, before I even realized that that was what he was doing. I still think about him and have since learned what private, solitary creatures they are and hope someone has adopted this neurotic little lizard. - Diana
