Badger, Fox, Crockie, Owl and Duck Go on an Adventure

Dash just acquired this children story book about Percy the Park Keeper and his animal friends, titled "After the Storm" by Nick Butterworth. Dash loves his drawing style, and in the act of admiration, took the liberty to adapt one of his drawings in his book for her painting below -- Dash only kept Badger, Fox and Owl on the boat (taking away the other rabbits, squirrels, rats and Percy the Park Keeper) and added an alligator in the waters ^_^


And now, with colours ...

The choice of animals represented the population of plush toys lounging around in our house and previous animal sketches/paintings hung on the walls of our house. Dash thought it would be great to have a painting that captured the myriad of personalities in the house - the diligent Badger who continues to row and propel the boat forward, the Fox who is often spotted chilling out on the couch, the pink owl who is eager to learn and discover more, the alligator with the friendly toothy smile and the oft late-for-appointment yellow duck trailing behind the boat, paddling as hard as he could :)

Mmm, if you take a closer look, you would find one or two quirky characteristics on the creatures e.g. check out the center parting hairstyle of Owl - uh huh, dash likes Owl with the geeky look : )
