There's something magical about capturing the spirit of wildlife on canvas, and that magic truly comes alive in my latest painting, Squeaky The Squirrel. From the moment I picked up my brush, I knew this little squirrel would be something special. Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of this fun and vibrant piece, and invite you to join me in the creative journey.
The Inspiration Behind Squeaky
Squirrels are one of those creatures that seem to embody pure joy. Whether they’re scurrying up a tree, nibbling on a nut, or simply gazing at the world with their bright, curious eyes, they never fail to bring a smile. When I set out to paint Squeaky, I wanted to capture that playful energy and share it with all of you.
The Painting Process
Painting Squeaky was a delightful challenge. I focused on bringing out the texture of his fur using layering techniques that add depth and realism. But it’s Squeaky’s eyes that truly bring the painting to life. Those big, bright eyes are full of curiosity and wonder, and I spent a lot of time making sure they captured the spirit of this little squirrel.
One of the most enjoyable parts of this painting was playing with color. Squeaky is full of vibrant hues, from the rich browns and reds of his fur to the bright pops of color in the background. This mix of bold colors makes Squeaky stand out and adds a touch of whimsy to the piece.
