River Dancing Otter

"River Dancing Otter" 6 x 6 inches, Oil on Gessoboard -Collection of the Artist

May 29 is my birthday, so I spoiled myself all day.  However,  I still wanted to paint, but not just any painting.  No, today I would make a painting of a river otter!  So I looked on line for inspiration and took a little artist liberty and came up with this little guy.  He's just so cute and now, I've got a crush.
