Nibbler - day 7

"Nibbler"  (pastel, 7x5 inches)  click here to bid

Day 7 of my 30 paintings in 30 days of November!

The cooler days put me in mind of ... squirrels.

 I decided here that I didn't like my decision for a lighter background...

 So I brushed it off...  and added some terra cotta (Art Spectrum) pastel primer...

Disregard the color variances on these progress shots - I worked into the evening, and my camera metering gets weird under just the studio lights. The top (final) image was scanned and is accurate!
