Evening Golf Squirrel

Title: Evening Golf Squirrel | Medium: Acrylic and Oil (water based) on board | Size: 9 X 11 | Artist: Carollyne Yardley
I finished this 9 X 11 tonight. It went from blue sky to evening sky - to blue sky to evening. Finally, the stars and the moon prevailed. Evening golf. I will post an animation next week of all the various skylines this little painting went through. Many layers. I think it fits the season. Lots of colour and twinkling lights.
From what I can see, this painting would make a great illustration for a child’s book about squirrels or golf. I’ll bet there aren’t that many child oriented books about the game of golf. I would think that the market is ready for this idea. Your illustration is amazing; the little faces are so perfect in every detail. The clothing is natty and just what any self respecting squirrels would wear on the links. I love the dreamy feel of your work. Those houses skirting the golf course are just huge mansions. This is just too cute for words. I wish I had a son. This would have been perfect art for a child room as afun art piece . It seems that I heard that kids are golfing along with Dad and Mom nowadays. Golf is everywhere. I follow is because of gentleman Phil Micklelson. He just won the Masters in Georgia. These little pros would be getting the Eagle on the links with no problem at all.
