Sunday Sketches - Squirrel

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This piece is done in watercolour crayon and pencil in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11"). It was inspired by a squirrel I saw peeking through some trees on a winter walk the other day. He wasn't there for every long, they do scamper about.

A knocking sound

On a sunny afternoon last week, I heard a knocking sound against my window that seemed to be coming from outside. I peeked out and saw a squirrel wrestling with a small apple on my windowsill! He must have sensed my presence because he abandoned the apple and went scampering up a nearby tree.

Son K noticed the apple on the windowsill some hours later and wondered where it came from, as we don't even have an apple tree. It's that time of year!

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This one's entitled 'Squirrel'. It's done in my art journal (5"w x 7"h) in watercolour pencil. I think I have one more page to go and the journal's finished!
