This peice was created specifically for the Lemur show.
I took this as an opportunity to paint something WAY out of my expertise and paint an animal which is far from my forte'. (and to read up on their plight)
I tried to capture the cunning of the creature as he snaps his head to try to catch a view of somthing just off canvas. (Almost stoic waiting to see if he needs to hide or play.)
This was quite fun and enjoyable - plus I'm pleased with my first real attempt at an animal. :D
(It is also a Triad color scheme using deep smoky purples for the fur, burnt oranges for the limb and smoky greens for the forest - each color intermingled with the others for shading.)
