Indian Palm Squirrel : Original Gouache Painting
Indian Palm Squirrel : Original Gouache Painting
Species : Funambulus palmarum
I saw a funny comic once. It depicted a rat asking a squirrel who his PR agent was. That still cracks me up, even as I’m typing this, haha.
But it’s so true right. I think most of us ignore the fact that squirrels are after all rodents, because they’re just so cute to look at. I wanted this painting to capture the details of the common squirrel, like the bands on its back, the fluffiness of its fur, the tiny ears, button eyes, whiskers, bushy tail and the cuteness of it holding and nibbling something. There are squirrels scuttering about on the Rain Tree. And somehow, they always catch my attention.

The Rain Tree Collection
In the Rain Tree, birds are building homes and starting their families. There are squirrels scuttering about, there are insects and bugs nibbling into the bark of the tree, a butterfly lands on a pink fluffy rain tree flower and then comes a bee.
There is everything. There are meals being shared, eggs being hatched, fights and arguments, seduction and mating, song and dance, just life going on in this ecosystem of The Rain Tree.
So, this is my ode. Read the full story.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the artwork look exactly like the images?
Please note that you're looking at digital photos of the artwork. Each and every laptop or phone screen displays colours differently. Expect mild variations in colour from what you see on screen, and mild 'blemishes' on the paper that are hardly noticeable.
I assure you that the artwork inevitably looks 100 times better in person. 😄
What medium was used for this artwork?
All the paintings in The Rain Tree collection were done using Artist Grade Gouache on Italian Acid-Free Hot Pressed paper.
Is the frame included?
No, the price includes the artwork, without the frame. The frame shown in the image is for representation purpose only. If you'd like to discuss options of framing, please write to hello@shivanipatel.in after placing your order.
How should I preserve the artwork?
To ensure longevity, please try not to handle the artwork with bare hands, or clean and dry your hands thoroughly before handling.
Keep the artwork out of direct sunlight as that can cause mild discolouration of the paper or paints over time.
The artwork has been varnished with artist-grade wax to make sure it is waterproof and colour-fast. However, framing it with glass would help you to protect it a lot better.
When framing, use a mount board to prevent the glass from directly touching the artwork.
When will the artwork be shipped?
Your artwork will be shipped within 10 working days after your order is placed.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, the shipping cost will be added at checkout. Please write to hello@shivanipatel.in for any queries.
