Finally. Saint Squirrel is complete. This will make up a part of the 12 paintings I’m working on for my first art show. The Squirrel Show (real name to be revealed closer to show date), will feature work that preserves Scottish lore, religious iconography and pop culture.
I’ve also created a short animation of still photos and music showing the stages of Saint Squirrel: Protecting You ‘Cause You’re Nuts!, from start to finish.

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.

Well, looks like I’ve got a name for her, and she’s almost complete. Tiny bit more work on some edges, and volia! Enjoy.
I’m finding that a touch or surrealism is what I like, and adding some humour to my subject too.
Here’s another review I made up for myself: Carollyne Yardley’s paintings are inspired by colour, and colourful, classical, regal, high society, (or religious iconic) women-folk with huge eye-balls - comic book style, her paintings are a bit surreal and have an element of humour (because of Shakey)…..and she’s likes to use run-on sentences - alot.
