Isolation Series: The Acrobat

"The Acrobat"
11x14 marker and ink on paper

Red squirrels, black squirrels, grey squirrels - they all vie for supremacy in the outdoor arena. I think they are part monkey too, as they vault and swing from branch to branch with breathtaking, daredevil risk. Their chittering is a far cry from a Tarzan bellow but the way they wave and twirl their tails rivals circus parade plumes. Frisky, pesky, charming, and cheeky, they announce their presence with voices most screechy!
