The Squirrel Mask


“I once had a dream where I was a squirrel. Ever since I have taken notice of this industrious creature. The more I learn about them the more I am impressed. In this painting I have a green background instead of the black starscape used in the Bear Mask and Wolf Mask painting. I wanted to see if a different color could suggest the other-worldly aspect of the spirit behind the animal. I think it did not, so I went back to the deep ultramarine blue background. I do really like the flow and lines in this painting though.”
