Russell Raccoon


Just to show that I at least tried something! This pastel (about 6x9") was done from a photo my son-in-law took of a baby raccoon who seemed to have been abandoned by his mom. They saw her carry one baby off, but she didn't come back for hours and hours, leaving little Russell worried, I'm sure. She finally did come and retrieve him and they moved on.

  2. I was happy to hear this little baby wasn't abandoned. He looks so inquisitive and you did a fine job rendering his look.

  3. He's so cute. Do you often work in pastel? I tried it once, and was so frustrated that my colors kept disappearing after I'd put them on. There must be a trick that I'm not aware of... You did a nice job!
