They (chipmunks and squirrels) are always a delight to look at and the forest would not be complete without them. I just love the sound they make as well as their nervous behavior. It looks as if they really take life seriously, and when it comes to eating, they are real gourmets. The color of their coats really suits the forest scenery. A painting like this one looks so very simple: a squirrel eating on a perch. But it expresses all my love for that wonderworld which is the forest with all its inhabitants, big and small. - CB
