Frank Squirrel checks out the painting he modeled for last week.
SteamPunk Squirrel is complete, but because of the various stages of drying times on the jacket and hat, etc. it’s a bit difficult to photograph. Will take better shot later on.
SteamPunk Squirrel has already been sold to the loveliest art collector, and I will soon be saying goodbye to this funny creature. He will also be placed in an amazing gold and white plaster frame. I will snap a photo before it goes out the door.
Also note our little buddy in photo above. So funny to see one of the squirrels check out a painting.
I can just imagine him saying, “OMG, wait until I tell Molly Squirrel. We are GODS!”
Just flashed to a scene out of Star Wars and the Ewoks. I’m going to have to spray paint a giant gold statue to give them when they ring the doorbell as an offering ala C-3PO.
Funny Face Squirrels (Avenue Squirrels)
The inspiration for Funny Face Squirrels came from fashion and glamour of the 1950’s and 60’s.

musicologist, foodie and style monger for haute bohemian cool. her artworks are colourful, happy, mysterious and ever-evolving. Marion’s family, animals and local folks provide endless subject matter for her paintings - though she is also fascinated with personas and archetypes from popular culture…

I started this painting several weeks ago with the idea she would have bright green hair, and then yesterday came upon a Lady Gaga photograph on my Facebook newsfeed with - you guessed it - Lady Gaga wearing a green wig.
So - we’re like mind melding or something.
Hey Gaga - this painting is for sale at a price you can afford babe. Call me toll-free in North America at 1-877-381-2800. Love ya, C xo

Lady Gaga and Hello Kitty with green hair. Proof of mind meld.
Mushroom Hat Squirrel is complete, she makes complete the fourth painting that will appear at the Red Art Gallery show called Friends and Other Funny Folks that will take place August 02-31st, 2011.
LG thinks this resembles me the most, and I’m thinking it’s ’cause of the hat?

I also had issue with the string of pearls on Space Hat Squirrel, so I redid them, and here’s the post, plus updated on my gallery page.

Red Hat Squirrel is complete and shown here with the intended frame. I haven’t varnished it yet, and since I’m a varnish virgin, I’m a little scared, and I might have to reach out and ask someone. I will post a photo with painting after the varnish is complete etc.

The Final Word
Many thanks to everyone who came out to the show (and those in spirit), it was a magical afternoon.
A huge thank you to the folks who bought a piece of my artwork. I know you will take good care of the “secret squirrels.”
Over 100 art enthusiasts arrived at the Ferris’ Upstairs Oyster Bar to enjoy whisky, wine, and hor d’oeuvres. It was a Sunday afternoon event, with relaxed and happy conversation.
The show continues May and June 2011. I invite you to head down to see the artwork. Ferris’ offers an amazing brunch and evening tapas menu. Check their website for hours of operation and location.
artsREACH Program
In an effort to raise awareness and funds for the OCTA Collective Society, I pledged 10% of the proceeds made during the opening event. Together we raised $306.91 towards their artsREACH program.

Upcoming Show
For my next trick, I’m going to strip naked and attach squirrel tails to my *edited copy* and skip through the graveyard to the beat of polka music. How scandalous! Ok, I wanted to grab your attention, this next part is really important (smile).
