 I am practicing on doing these gators fast. I am the president of our local museum and we are having ArtSmart for 3 weeks in July. One of our projects is going to be painting alligators.  With a bunch of 6-12 year old children, I must learn to paint them fast.    Both of these paintings are ACEO size and are done on canvas paper in oils. They will come in a sleeve and ready for your collection.  ACEO paintings are baseball card size and  really hot right now. It is a great way to collect art.
