Lemur

This oil painting is completed on a 10"x20" stretched canvas. The detail in the fur and the log can really be appreciated.

Lemurs are a type of primate that evolved before monkeys and apes. They are more primitive than their cousins but share certain characteristics. Found in only one area on Earth—Madagascar and the nearby Comoro Islands—lemurs are considered the world’s most endangered group of mammals. Today there are over 100 lemur species.
