thoughts of a shy painter

Skunky Art

Picture
So, I was outdoors painting in the cool of the morning.   I decided to paint this country road because the reflections in the puddles caught my eye.   Halfway into the painting, there was some movement on my right, and a furry, black-and-white head poked up from the roadside grass.  It ducked back down, then poked up again a few times, checking me out. Then a fabulously fluffy, black-and-white skunk emerged from the roadside ditch and studied me with bright, curious eyes.  It must have decided I was harmless, because it ambled out onto the road and made a couple of trips across and back, sat up and studied me some more, then trundled off into the grass on the other side.   I would have loved to get a picture, but I didn’t want to make any sudden moves that might be misinterpreted by the skunk. I had never seen a live skunk. They sure are cute.

    I'm a painter.   I find joy in mimicking the world around me in oil paint.   Go figure.
