Don't know when I last saw a red squirrel! Plenty of greys around here. This is bright and delightful Carole and he looks both brave and naughty!

This glows. Oil and pastel combo. New to me. It's very effective in your lively, lovely painting.

Glimpsed a red squirrel in the woods near where I live and was inspired to paint this. Painted on black canvas with a mixture of oils and oil pastels. 10” x 12”.
