Thank you Anala:smile:

work in progress
 

Can you guess what animal I'm working on now?

Oh Uma, I do not know for sure, but I can see his soul in his eyes! Is it a dog?

raccoon (pastel) 7x9.5"
 

That was a good guess Anala

Oh! I was wondering about the strips! I love his nose! He is beautiful!

Thank you Anala

Beautiful painting.

Getting off the subject, when Anala mentioned the strips, it brought to my attention that one of my totem animals was and probably still is, is the skunk. I can not count the number of times I would get as close as a foot from a skunk as a teenager...... and never got sprayed.

Thanks Big John. I know (from a woman who rehabilitated animals) that skunks are gentle animals. I never thought of painting one - might be a good one to try. Am working on a project for someone at the moment.
