I posted this watercolor before on Steemit but I couldn't resist posting it again.
I found this squirrel in Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona, Arizona. He was enjoying an apple core for lunch and graciously posed for me so I could take a photo. I painted this watercolor in my studio.

Another nice painting Lee. I love the way you have almost “blended” in the squirrel into the light and the tree.
Thank you, Rolf. Glad you enjoy it. @rolf-bakker
It is amazing how your “simple” watercolor brush move creates the texture of a squrrel's fur, @chessmonster. And catchlight in the eyes. Great work.
BTW, do you have any chess category? Can't believe that nick is accidental.
@lighteye Thank you very much. Yes, I play chess, rated around 1360 USCF, which I guess puts me in the D category. Thanks for commenting.
Is that USCF other name for ELO, or a completely different rating system?
1360 ELO rating system. USCF = United States Chess Federation.
I like him; kinda whimsical and light spirited. Nice capture on the photo and nice execution! These little guys like to move around a lot...
Thanks @reddragonfly Yup...gotta be fast with the shutter release button!
Interesting artwork so good to see your post after a long this does put a smile one my face hahah :D
He was a charmer...no doubt about it. @blazing Thanks for commenting.
Well spotted and captured. I like squirrels.
Is it possible to "store" such a brief moment without a photo and still do a studio painting, or would that be an inhuman feat?
Hello @ocrdu Thank you. I couldn't paint this from memory, so yes I needed the photo to work from. Maybe others can do it, but not me. Thanks for commenting!
I like the way how squirrel remains almost hidden in this watercolor. Just like in real life, in nature.
@zorank Thanks for commenting with an interesting observation that I hadn't thought of before.
WOW. you have caught an extraordinary moment. And you drew it in the most beautiful and perfect way. I like your technique. I do not do much pictures, I take more pictures. but I had a few tries. and working with watercolors really requires technical and skill. Very successful. congratulations.
and have a nice day .. my friend :)
Thank you very much @mnallica Yes indeed, watercolors are a challenge.
I love his painting "Apple Core"
@katilda I'm glad! Thanks for the nice comment.
It's so cute!!
@joxus Thanks! Glad you like it.
Lee, everything alright with you. Did not see you for almost two months on steemit.
I am very curious about your geranium project.
