SQUIRREL IN TREE-KIKI PIPER

10” x 30” Original creation titled “Squirrel in Tree” by artist Kiki Piper. 

In her delightful mixed media piece, "Squirrel in Tree," Kiki Piper captures the playful essence of a fluffy brown squirrel perched amidst the bark of a tree. With its inquisitive gaze and dynamic posture, the squirrel seems to invite viewers into its lively world, embodying a spirit of curiosity and playfulness that resonates with all who encounter it.

The texture of the mixed media adds depth and dimension to the artwork, enhancing the squirrel’s fur and the intricate details of the tree’s bark. Inspired by a moment Kiki experienced while strolling along the Raleigh greenways, the scene encapsulates the joyful surprise of encountering wildlife in a natural setting. 

Squirrels' playful antics remind us to embrace spontaneity and joy in our own lives. Kiki's artwork is a joyful tribute to the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures it offers. The painting serves as a reminder that, much like the curious squirrel, we should remain open to the delightful connections we can make with both nature and one another, creating moments of fun and companionship in this vibrant world.
