This is an in-progress red squirrel sitting on rugged deadfall.  The lighting will be rather dramatic in this piece.  I’m looking forward to all of the color glazes of the fur and beautiful textures in the logs.  Should be quite a treat! watercolor on board, 8in x 10in, sepia stage, […] Read more »
