9 - Critter

Critter 6 x 6 Oil on hardboard $15 - Buy it here.

This is a critter I made up when I was younger. I used to make them stuffed animals because the first one was one of those back support pillows. I loved them so I made smaller pillow types so I can squeeze them whenever I wanted to. I still have my bright teal critter named Captain Fox with a black left eye patch. It was adorable. I realized painting this, the colors blend and becomes muddy. I think letting the background dry first then apply the critter will make it brighter. Or perhaps I should try painting him on a white background and not red. Painting is an experiment and it takes practice to get that "ah ha" moment everyday and build upon that little by little.
