Today I finished my large red squirrel, despite being very enthused at the start, I really could not get into finishing him. Although I managed to put paint to paper in finishing him, he was not how I had first planned. He is very large, 20″x16″ I reckon that’s why I kept putting off finishing, maybe a little too big for a squirrel?

About REcreate-RebeccaEvansCreate
My name is Rebecca Evans, living in the New Forest I have been inspired to paint the many animals often seen around me. Having ridden since Childhood, painting equines was a natural path to follow.
I use a variety of media, watercolour, oil, charcoal, pastel,inks, plus a few more, infact I will try most things. Choosing the medium to work with can really change the effect of the art, and therefore the character of the animal. Sometimes it is an instant decision, sometimes it is the mood from within me which determines which medium I choose to use.
I never know what might inspire me next, but if it’s hairy, I will be sure to try.
