I present to you the otter. These are such wonderful creatures, with their lush fur and playful, noisy behaviour. They truly seem to enjoy life, making the best of their watery habitat, muddy banks and even snow. It was a great challenge to paint the wet fur of this specimen, and put some of that inquisitive energy in this portrait.
