In the quaint surroundings of Princeton, New Jersey, black squirrels are an unexpected yet delightful local favorite. These charming creatures—smaller, fluffier, and more endearing than their gray counterparts—are quietly adored by the community. Capturing their unique presence on canvas allows me to highlight the beauty of something so familiar yet often overlooked.

I approach each squirrel portrait with care and attention, focusing on the soft textures, alert expressions, and lively spirit that make these little animals such enchanting muses. Through my artwork, I strive to preserve and celebrate the character of these beloved creatures, inviting viewers to see them with fresh eyes. Each painting is not just a depiction but a testament to the unique charm of the black squirrel—a piece of local lore captured with affection.

Whether as a token of Princeton’s natural world or a charming addition to your collection, these portraits hold a warmth and value that resonates with anyone who appreciates the simple joys found in nature.
