Too Hot To Trot-Squirrel

Close up




Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Susan was the gracious hostess. Thanks for the great reference photos.

I liked the squirrel taking a break from the heat of the day. I've watched them do this many times. It looks like they're kicked back and really deliberating something.

This is oil on a 5x7 canvas panel. I first laid the darks in thinly...Then the mids with thick paint but smooshed ( a very painterly term )around a bit....Then finished with thick strokes from brush and knife. This gave a nice build up.
I hope you like it!
