Not long ago, it was my daughter-in-law's birthday. I wasn't sure what to get for her this year. But lucky for me, she let slip in a conversation that her favorite animal was the otter, and that she had recently seen her first one in the wild in a small creek near where she works.
Well, I went on a search for otters on the Googleplex Image Repository and got out my watercolors.
I ended up making three of them. But I only got photos of these two...
I plead guilty to crass and blatant copying of someone else's art. But the painting part, is all mine.
I had no end of fun with these. Thanks for the inspiration T. !

But at last they are here on these pages where they look very much at home.
And they won't have any trouble following the advice written below!
