These 'Flame and Bough' watercolour paintings capture the red squirrel in its element: flowing up and down the trees in the woodland, a flicker of flame in the forest.
 
I am fortunate to live an area still populated by red squirrels. They are the most exquisite creatures - the shy and gentle inhabitants of quiet places. Seeing one always gives me a thrill, though it is often just a fleeting glimpse. I think this is one of the reasons that I love painting them. 
 
Through the medium of art I can suggest a moment of pause when the squirrel is at rest in front of us. I can take time to explore the details of fur and whisker, and connect with the brightness of their beautiful nut brown eyes.
 
Both paintings together would mark a lovely wall feature, or they can be purchased individually to bring the energy of the squirrel into a particular corner of your home. You can select from the menu below.
 
The paintings are mounted on wood and come with a solid white wood frame. Please contact me to discuss further - you have the option of different frames if you prefer.
 
These long slender pieces are simple and striking, creating a peaceful point of focus in a room.
 
Size of painting: 10x20"
