Squirrel

5"X7" Acrylic on board

I admit to being rather fond of squirrels, even though I know they are just bushy-tailed tree-rats. Ours must be among the fattest in the city. They raid our compost for moldy bread, it doesn't seem to do them any harm but I am not sure that I would recognize a squirrel with ergot poisoning. It probably just makes them squirrelier than usual.
