"Sedona Squirrel"

I found this squirrel on some tree roots in Oak Creek Canyon north of Sedona, Arizona.  He posed for me just long enough to get a quick photo, then scampered away. 

I painted this watercolor in my studio.  Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I have a 21" iMac set up so I can paint from a beautiful image on the screen, which provides me with all the information I need.

I liked the backlighting on the squirrel against the dark log and flowing creek in the background, plus the warm reflected light from the creek bank.

I hope you enjoy seeing this painting.



More to come,


Lee
