This is "The Rare River Otter" 
I started out with sketches and added color layer by layer. 
The Rare River Otter is my favorite. Particularly his sweater. It took a while to do the stitching, but it was worth it!
My table when it is taken over by art stuffs..... actually this is a pretty clean day.
"Sealed with a Kiss"
"Polar Bear Stops to Smell the Flowers"
"Can You Bear to be Mine?"
"My Otter Half"
"He was not like the Otters" he twas, "afraid of teh water."
I finally sat down and did some art. It did take a while to paint today. My original thought was to do very simplified painting, but of course I can never do as little as I hope to do. I really did enjoy today though. I always feel very productive after completing artwork; even more so once it is on etsy.com. I have been blessed lately with my shop dwindling down a little and I really wanted to update. Luckily I got inspired, a little aquarium animal, a little valentines, and a little polar bear project at school and tah-dah! Fun and Whimsical Critters for all.
