Friday Art - Baby Platypus

 


Welcome to Friday Art! 

I am showing a baby platypus ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil. It is based on this interesting fact I found below.  It is an egg laying mammal that has always fascinated me.



Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off and to Gillena's Art For Fun Friday.
