Walter's New Painting


This is my most important character, Walter Ringtail. I really should have gave him a proper introduction when I started the blog because I even named the site after him. Walter is a gifted raccoon artist who started out doing paintings of houses, landscapes, and portraits. They are all very nice paintings, but Walter wanted to take a different direction with his art. He started to get involved in symbolic modern art. He is painting "Candy Rope to Heaven" and it symbolizes the love that he has of his new art style. The painting that he has on the wall is called "Hot Bent Spoon" and this is Walter's symbolic self-portrait. He thinks that he is seen as some useful modest tool, but in reality he sees himself as some kind of revolutionary artist and considers himself to be untouchable. Unfortunately, Walter has a very big head.

Rusty's Flashback


O.K. This piece involves little Rusty Boulder trying to keep his dad from embarrassing him in front of the rest of his family. Rusty's dad sees this as being harmless, but Rusty really never liked his dad telling jokes about him. Rusty never likes to see others made fun of and tries to be different from his father. Rusty developes a very good heart over time. Unfortuately, Rusty becomes overly sensitive about the way other's see him. When I started this piece, I wanted to do some kind of lighting experiment with fire in a darkened room. It looks good to me and I hope that you like it to. This scene would also explain why Rusty likes to hang out with Walter, his raccoon friend, all of the time.

Holiday Shopping




This is my oldest colored Christmas picture. I just thought that it would be nice to show this to you, especially since tomarrow is Christmas. In this scene Walter Ringtail, the raccoon, and his best friend the bear, Rusty Boulder, are walking through downtown Paw Valley. They are enjoying each other's company and chatting while doing their holiday shopping together. I hope that you like this picture, even though it is my first colored Christmas picture. Anyway, I hope that all of you are done doing your holiday shopping by now because even in a bad economy, the stores will be very busy for last minute shoppers! I wish you and your family only the best! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Rat Family Christmas


O.K., I probably never mentioned this, but I love rats! Hey, I think that they are really cute and sweet. I had rats as pets at one time, so I will need to get more in the future. Also, Christmas is my favorite holiday so I decided to give them a beautiful Christmas scene. I hope that you like it.

Christmas Winter Wonderland


I just love doing art and I love Christmas so I thought that I would share some of my images with you. This is not in my calendar, but I would like to know what you think of it. The raccoon is "Walter Ringtail" and the bear is "Rusty Boulder," Walter's best friend. They are posing for a picture with many of their animal friends. I know that it is early, but please enjoy!
OK citizens I would like to show you some of my Christmas art. These images are fun for me to do and I just though that it might be nice to share with you.
