As I posted earlier, I have been primarily working on the stack of commissions I have in my studio right now. This is one of the rough sketches for my beaver commission. I have been painting on this piece for the last couple of days.
I really liked studying this animal. He walked slowly, as you would expect a beaver to behave, but could also jump or run at any moment and be very energetic. It made watching him almost comical. :) With the beautiful fall colored leaves on the ground complementing him, I think the painting is going to turn out very well. 
nice work
