Sticky Wicket

A rare acrylic -- and even rarer on canvas -- painting. I just can't get the hang of  it. I work too small and even the tiny brush is too thickly coated with paint to work for me. I do like the green I mixed, and I got to use Naples yellow, one of my favorite colors that I hardly ever use.

I used to like to play croquet, though I mostly liked to hit the balls around as hard as I could with the mallet.

Itsy Bitsy Mammals

A cinnamon bear (the black bear variety, not the red candy) examines a giant Jell-O cube. With a fig medal!

This is a female red kangaroo, which are blue, not red. She's enjoying some orange juice while wearing a dapper vest.

A tapir with a croissant. I bet you can guess why I gave her a watermelon shirt.

This picture didn't quite work. It's an arctic fox, though it doesn't look much like one.

A long-eared hedgehog is going to have some gummy worms.
