Description
This large 11 pound yellow-bellied marmot lives in the talus slopes of Mount Rose in Nevada, in the western United States. As long as kept talking to him he stayed at the entrance to his burrow in the rocks. When I would stop talking he would retreat and hide. When I started talking again he would emerge. This exchange went on for quite some time and I was able to approach within an arms length. When I saw the size of his front teeth however, I decided that I did not want to risk touching him!
This image has been digitally rendered as fine detailed pencil drawing. It reminds me of the delicate "silver point" drawings that I created on gessoed paper using a piece of sterling silver wire while a student at the Art Institute Of Boston. The silver would darken as it oxidized creating a very subtle and soft look. This image looks stunning in the larger sizes, matted and framed.
