Heidi
A baby squirrel peeks out from the textured hollow of a tree, her bright eyes full of curiosity and cautious wonder. The rough bark frames her tiny face, making her seem even more delicate against her sturdy home.
The Story Behind the Canvas
This little squirrel was nesting in the tree right in our front yard, and I often caught glimpses of her watching the world go by from her hiding place. The quiet charm of that moment stayed with me and became the inspiration for this painting.
Painting Heidi was a reminder of the small, often overlooked lives that surround us every day — creatures that bring charm and warmth to even the simplest corners of our own yards.
