Squirrel Buddy, 4 x 4" oil painting by Jill Peckelun


This is just a little something I did of a squirrel who used to sit outside of my studio window and watch me work.  I tried to keep the brushwork loose to convey the movement that is so much a part of being a squirrel!    
These 4 x 4" pieces are a nice way to pass a cold or rainy weather day in the studio.

Your buddy is definitly "squirrely"
A wonderful portrayal on such a small surface with such loose brushwork.

I really, really like your painterly quality, Jill. There was no need for minute detail to portray this squirrel's character.

You did capture movement in this one. Love the loose feel and energy.
