I painted this rhino quite some time ago and never posted it here as he is pretty similar to the others that I have done. But, I have nothing else to post today, so here it is. I gave this one to a friend, so he is no longer in my possession, but on a desk at the library. I do plan on painting this one again with a red background. I want a set of 4 and I think the others would look good with a red one. This particular guy is on the cheap little flat canvases that I usually use. The others that I have done are a little larger and on the canvases with the sides that you can hang directly on the wall. I have really enjoyed painting this one over and over as I love the chubby little pear shaped physique. In fact, I have been emphasizing that quite a bit. The model is more slender, if a rhino can be called slender, that is...
I haven't "throwed up" yet. Maybe I will dodge that bullet. Maybe little 5 year old James just ate something that didn't agree with him.

It looks like a nice day today--very sunny and fallish. It seems like winter has gone away. And yes, I do like the sun. Just not every day...
In reading news, I am reading "A Study in Scarlet" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Why Sherlock Holmes you might ask. I just felt like it and when you can just go grab it off the shelf while you are at work and check it out for free, why not? I just found out how Sherlock Holmes and Watson met. They are quite an iconic fictional pair, those two and I never knew how they met or how they came to be. Now I do...

You have a lucky friend to have this painting on their desk! What are the background colors of the other 3?
Glad you didn't get sick from the little guy who "throwed up".
I'm anxious for the Sherlock Holmes movie that is coming out soon. I heart Sherlock Holmes.
oh i love a pear shaped rhino in any color but this guy is just too cute. he made me smile. i heart him.
glad you have not yet throwed up and hope that the throwed up bug does not bite you this week.
fall is back. that's a relief. never been a sherlock holmes fan and not sure why. something further to ponder. so much to ponder and to read.
