Sometime Monday morning (Feb. 15, 21) my review of ZenArt Black Tulip brushes will go live at Doodlewash!
#DoodlewashFebruary2021 Prompt: Squirrel.
Did you know that in the 1870’s squirrels (along with starlings and sparrows) were deliberately released into city parks seem to make them seem more like being out in nature?

Life Imitates Doodles 
this could totally be my little Rocket 🙂
He definitely could be! Are you still seeing the ermine?
Such a wonderful little guy….such great color-work and almost a pointillism style!
I love these rascals…even if I run out and yell at them when they swing from the suet cage! They are such piggies. 🙂
Thank you, Judy! Yeah, squirrels can wear their welcome out very quickly, lol. I used the poster art style for this, with some brush hatching and stippling. The main thing is simple shapes and hard edges throughout. Everything from paint-by-numbers to Art Nouveu and those gorgeous travel posters that started in the 40’s and are still popular today.
