Barker

I'm a bit behind on a new batch of underpaintings, so I found this old from last year that I hadn't pasteled yet (is pasteled a word?..) and finished it yesterday.

This prairie dog lives in Lubbock, TX, at Prairie Dog Town (of course! Did you know that prairie dogs live in vast underground communities called "towns"?)

If you're ever traveling through Lubbock I recommend a stop at Prairie Dog Town for a short walk and a dose of cuteness!

Meanwhile, here are some progress shots of Barker:

Thanks, and please share!

Day 28 in my 30-Paintings-in-30-Days of November.

Though the prairie dog is native to North America, I've not seen many 'in the wild', but I have a few good shots from the many zoos I've visited over the years. I couldn't resist this little gal's roundness.

Here are some progress shots:

Thanks for watching! Please share!
