I posted this watercolor before on Steemit but I couldn't resist posting it again.

”Apple Core” 11"x15" (#3365) watercolor on Arches by Lee Gordon Seebach
I found this squirrel in Oak Creek Canyon near Sedona, Arizona. He was enjoying an apple core for lunch and graciously posed for me so I could take a photo. I painted this watercolor in my studio.

I love his painting "Apple Core"
@katilda I'm glad! Thanks for the nice comment.
Interesting artwork so good to see your post after a long this does put a smile one my face hahah :D
Well spotted and captured. I like squirrels.
Is it possible to "store" such a brief moment without a photo and still do a studio painting, or would that be an inhuman feat?
I like the way how squirrel remains almost hidden in this watercolor. Just like in real life, in nature.
WOW. you have caught an extraordinary moment. And you drew it in the most beautiful and perfect way. I like your technique. I do not do much pictures, I take more pictures. but I had a few tries. and working with watercolors really requires technical and skill. Very successful. congratulations.
and have a nice day .. my friend :)
It's so cute!!
@joxus Thanks! Glad you like it.
He was a charmer...no doubt about it. @blazing Thanks for commenting.
Hello @ocrdu Thank you. I couldn't paint this from memory, so yes I needed the photo to work from. Maybe others can do it, but not me. Thanks for commenting!
@zorank Thanks for commenting with an interesting observation that I hadn't thought of before.
Thank you very much @mnallica Yes indeed, watercolors are a challenge.
I like him; kinda whimsical and light spirited. Nice capture on the photo and nice execution! These little guys like to move around a lot...
Thanks @reddragonfly Yup...gotta be fast with the shutter release button!
Another nice painting Lee. I love the way you have almost “blended” in the squirrel into the light and the tree.
Thank you, Rolf. Glad you enjoy it. @rolf-bakker
It is amazing how your “simple” watercolor brush move creates the texture of a squrrel's fur, @chessmonster. And catchlight in the eyes. Great work.
BTW, do you have any chess category? Can't believe that nick is accidental.
@lighteye Thank you very much. Yes, I play chess, rated around 1360 USCF, which I guess puts me in the D category. Thanks for commenting.
Is that USCF other name for ELO, or a completely different rating system?
1360 ELO rating system. USCF = United States Chess Federation.
Lee, everything alright with you. Did not see you for almost two months on steemit.
I am very curious about your geranium project.
