This is a portrait of Arnie, the anole who has been visiting me regularly for about three years now. He comes to my front window, looks in at me and does his gorgeous throat display. During the spring and summer he does this at least daily and sometimes several times a day. I believe he winters under the hose reel and re-emerges with the warm weather. I hope he will continue, but their life span is about three years and never more than six. Isn't he beautiful?
Portrait in colored pencil on hot pressed watercolor paper.
