"SQUIRREL"
NFS
11" x 9"
pastel on gatorfoam board, pumiced and underpainted
Squirrel - - - ask anyone, most will state they see them as a real pain in the ass.
They dig up bulbs, they tease the pets, they eat from the bird feeder - but as a
symbol (think about it) they are planners, observers and entertainers.
They are true treasure hunters and carry their fair amount of charm.
I love their little paws and digits.

Today is the halfway point - YAY! Although I prepped
my reference material, so I wouldn't waste time
each day pondering what to paint.

Pattie, your paintings are really lovely. The otter & lizard are especially gorgeous. I am trying to use more colour in my paintings, especially in those dark areas - you seem to have a handle on that. Thanks for your feedback re my day 15 painting.
I love this! Such a cute little squirrel! And the colors are beautiful.
I love this little guy. There was a squirrel right outside my window yesterday. I thought about painting it, but then thought it would be too hard. I'm a chicken I guess! (mmmm....maybe I'll try a chicken!).
Also, Pattie, the horse is stunning!
Thank you Tessa, Heather and Laurie for visiting and leaving comments. Laurie - I would say chickens would be more difficult than a squirrel..but then again - feathers or fur?..gotta make em look right without tons of extra work. Create that illusion. And squirrels are NOT hard.
So cute :)
Thanks Sheila!
