While painting at a more remote section of Mauserts Pond at Clarksburg State Park this morning, I heard a splash in the water and noticed a creature with a long tail approaching the edge of the shore to my right. Out emerged a gray squirrel, which shook off the water, and ran into the bushes. This is the first time I've ever seen a gray squirrel swim. It came across the small inlet, which spans a good twenty yards from the other shore.
The oil on panel is 8x10 and the prep drawing is 6x8 inches. Same as yesterday: the water was still until I started to paint it.
