The weather hasn't been cooperating. It's been very chilly on the porch, too cold for painting. Finally it occurred to me to bring a little heater out! Viola!
So here he is after some more work on the fur. The fur is going to be the longest part to paint I think. The rest is much more simple. He looks a lot darker than he will be. He's going to be a red squirrel.
I was worried his tail would be too plain, it's a huge part of him and so far I hadn't come up with any design elements to add to it. So even though squirrels' tails don't really look like this, I love the pinwheel design.
