"I'm Up a Tree!" baby raccoon wildlife, oil painting

2009-05-22T00:20:00.004-05:00

This morning I finished painting the newborn raccoon that I met at Friends of Texas Wildlife in Magnolia, Texas. The wildlife rescue organization rehabs orphaned wildlife to be released into the wild again when old enough. This little baby was found crawling alone on a concrete driveway ... and hungry. Unfortunately, one only realizes the teeny size of these babies when seeing them face to face.

The Orphan Pup, Animal Rescue

2009-05-19T23:30:00.000-05:00

Painted when I was a child of 10 years old, this was my first oil painting. I find it interesting that my subject way back then was an orphan pup and today, 52 years later, I paint for animal rescue. Naturally, this painting remains in my private Artist's Collection; however, I have other paintings available, and I do accept commissions ... so think about having your favorite pet's portrait
