About this picture
This squirrel offers up a flower nearly its own size while a bird perches on the branch above a hanging birdhouse with a round entrance hole. A butterfly drifts nearby and a spotted mushroom grows at the base of the tree, giving the ground almost as much going on as the branches above. The tree trunk's spiral knot is a small but distinct detail worth picking out in its own shade rather than blending it into the rest of the bark.

Coloring ideas
- Use a warm reddish-brown for the squirrel's fur, with the flower it's holding as a good spot for a bright contrasting color.
- Color the birdhouse and tree trunk in different browns so they don't blend into one shape.
- Give the butterfly and the mushroom at the base of the tree their own distinct colors to add variety to the ground.
- Pick out the tree trunk's spiral knot in its own shade rather than blending it into the rest of the bark.
Learning and creativity connection
