6:45 am • Beavers are the whole package. They are tough, awesome swimmers, incredible architects, and they are cute as all get-out. They swim so fluidly that they almost seem to be floating, but I suspect it takes a lot of strength to look so graceful. This beaver has been hard at work since yesterday evening and is ready to get some rest. She heads towards home, making a peaceful retreat.
This piece was painted in the midst of the pandemic, prior to the very contentious 2020 election and during the summer’s protests. It was a good time to create some joyous art. Flowing with this little lady as she came to life was a real joy. She has a nice energy and I feel like she might float right off the canvas. I am pretty certain her purpose is to give out blessings. Joyful tidings to you!
