Red Squirrel
Acrylic on canvas 12" x 16" (30 x 40 cm)
I came upon this happy, red squirrel at the edge of the forest. He was busily filling his little cheeks with the seeds from cones of the fir tree he was standing on. It was spring-time in the Rocky Mountains and he must have been hungry because he continued for some time as I quietly sketched and talked to him.
