Red Squirrel 5x7in

sold

There are huge grey squirrels eating all the bird food in my back garden at the moment. They're not a bit afraid of me either!

Over the last year I have spent a lot of time walking in the Rhododendron and pine tree gardens around Deer Park in Howth and have spotted red squirrels on several occasions. They are tiny, and not bold as the grey ones.

With this piece I worked to keep the painting lose and playful and at the same time descriptive.
