Now a River Otter!

I had one of those brain fights painting this one, as in "What color am I really seeing here?  And how do I make it!"  You know what I mean.  Or maybe you don't, but as you look at this, see if you can identify how many shades of blue/purple/grey there are...  And OH so much FUN!!!!
I also really loved the feet on this one- I swear, I need to do some close-ups of otter feet-

See that lovely, powerful, webbed foot?  Doncha just LOVE them?

And he can be YOURS if you want to jump on the auction here!  6x6 acrylic on panel!
