13/365 - Teal Squirrel
It's a dreary day, and I don't expect to be taking many photos, so this particularly uninspired photograph will have to do.
The squirrel came from Dollar Tree, I think. He was never very attractive, and I'd planned to paint him and use him as a garden ornament, but somehow I never did.
After he spent some years outside (fading to an even less attractive state), I finally brought him inside for painting. I wasn't sure how I wanted to paint it, but this wasn't what I had in mind. However, in a moment of madness, I gave the whole thing a wash of watered down teal paint-- leftovers from something else I'd just finished painting.
I can't decide if I like it this way or not... He looks kind of moss-grown, which I do like, so I'll probably leave him like this for a while.
Editing: The usual + a light Ortonizing & a hint of Vibrance.
Edited to add:
Well, I actually did take a few more photos today-- of a little snake I found on our fence. I guess I'll leave this photo as the picture of the day, but if I'd known there'd be snake photos to be had later on, I'd have waited. ;o)
