River Otters and Real Art

A mama river otter and her two babies played on the dock this afternoon.  We watched the babies jump on their mama's head until she had enough and scooted everyone back in the water, single file gliding out the slough.

Genevieve, daughter of an artist, felt the sudden need to paint an otter.

Genevieve:  I don't want to paint on just silly paper.  I want wood, with a hanger, and a hook from the gallery, and I want to hang it in my room like REAL art.
Drew: Alright, I'll sketch out an otter for you and you can paint it.
