Sleeping Otters

Title: ?
Size: 3 x 3.75 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Multimedia artboard

I probably spent about 20 hours on this little piece. These otters belong to San Francisco Zoo. They are very playful and always swimming around in their pond, but I caught them sleeping together. They looked so cute and I just had to paint them!

Red-tailed Hawk

I had been working on these miniatures. Birds are not easy subjects for me, but I have tons of bird pictures from the San Francisco Zoo and my backyard, so decided to do some from them. I had to really concentrate, otherwise I lose track of those feathers.
