Squirrelly Rainbow
2022
acrylic on canvas bag
12 x 16 x 4 inches
I paint squirrels a lot, because their familiar little faces and bodies seem to reflect so easily our human emotions, everything from anxiety to joy. This particular squirrel represents a first time for me: a trompe-l’œil painting to make it look like a little furry friend is hitching a ride on this tote. You can watch the making of this painted bag.
