Patricia, thank you!
I am working on the squirrel now with oils and a couple more surprises so I better hurry up. Still one week to go.

I am working on the lion, and hope to be done in a day or so.

The last few days got rather hectic, as we were trying to do what was necessary before the half meter plus of snow that is coming tomorrow. It is to stay about -12 to -20 C or lower the next week or so. Our old snow blower finally stopped working late last year, and we were extremely fortunate to be able to get the one we wanted (electric - so much easier to use) before they sold out a week later. A lot of places were sold out in November.

Wow. Stay warm Joy!
I might try and get another picture done too before this challenge finishes.

This squirrel is painted with oil paints on canvas paper. 6x8 in.
I'm photographing in dark so the photos won't turn out that well. We have many cloudy days ahead so there won't be possibilities to take better photo. I enjoyed painting this

 

[LizC]

Squirrel turned out quite well

 

[Grapes]

Liz, thanks!

 

[Joy]

Grapes, this is very nice. You captured it well!

 

[Grapes]

Thanks, Joy!

This came out nice. I like the impressionistic style.
