Preparing for Winter

Today was absolutely gorgeous.. went to the zoo with my grand daughter.. and we sketched animals... and just enjoyed watching them and the wonderful fall day.. the trees were all golden and the colors of orange and browns... I came home and had to paint something... Yes... we did see a lot of chipmunks running... and so because they fit so well in the fall colors , I decided to try one... I did it in my sketch book... I think it will do well on good watercolor paper , which I will try next...
I enjoyed painting this little guy.. remembered my class with Rob Odell... who paints trees and logs so spectacularly... ..
Now off to have some dinner myself...
