This is a new little miniature watercolor painting I have been working on. 
It’s a baby (kit) raccoon in a tree hollow. The size is 1-7/8in X 2-3/4in.

This is the painting that I made at the Minnesota Safari Club State Convention – a Cape Buffalo (my first one! ). This piece was painted on Saturday during the show. I took a few photos of a number of mounts on display during the VIP preview on Friday night of the show for references. (I didn’t get much too much sleep with last minute preparations and the snowstorm/blizzard that hit the Twin Cities during the show – the painting was finished with the help of numerous cups of coffee. 
) Thanks to everyone at SCI for their help at the show and for what you do for conservation!
Beginning to draw in the darks and definition and the lighter tones into the horns. (11:52 am)
Darks and highlights are defined – just starting to add the background. (1:31 pm)

This is how my little fox painting came out – I have only a few minor adjustments to make before it’s complete.

I just sent artwork off to California today for a miniature show. The exhibit is just outside of Yosemite National Park in Mariposa, California – the Northern California Society of Arts in Miniature’s "Miniatures in Mariposa" at the Sierra Artists Gallery. The show will be up from late of February to early April.
I wish I could ship myself off to Yosemite too.
