Description
This is the 4th entry in my animal portrait series. This is based on a photo of a eastern newt I took in the wild (south east Ohio) in 2003. The adult form of this newt is dark green, the red eft stage is basically the adolescent stage where it is land going and has orangey dry-ish skin. When it becomes an adult it becomes aquatic and has moist skin like a frog and dark green with reddish spots. I have seen 3 or 4 red efts but only the adult form once, and that was when my camera was in the shop unfortunately.

This is an amphibian(think salamanders and frogs), not a lizard. So if you call "here leezard leezard", it won't respond because it will think you're talking to someone else.

Painting is 4.5x4.5" on illustration board in acrylics.
